Update: It’s been a week since Vanessa Bryant revealed that a mismatched version of the Nike Vapor Edge Kobe 6 “Grinch” will be dropping this holiday season. The cleat is set to release in the classic green “Grinch” colorway tomorrow while a version with the “Reverse Grinch” colorway serving as the left cleat is due to drop this week as well. As described in our initial breakdown below, both cleats sport the silhouette’s textured upper while celebrating the holiday season in green, red and black. Release is expected to take place on Christmas Day, December 25, via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $230 USD.


Original Story: Following the release of the Nike Kobe 6 “Grinch,” Nike is bringing even more holiday spirit to the field with an upcoming mismatched version. This special edition blends two bold palettes, inspired by the iconic “Grinch” and “Reverse Grinch” colorway, resulting in a festive, mismatched pair.

One cleat features an Electric Green upper with a lime-neon front sole and tongue, complemented by bold red detailing. Its counterpart showcases vibrant Crimson Red tones, boasting dark cherry overlays and neon green accents on the tongue and heel. Both cleats feature a black Swoosh along the sides and outsole, creating a cohesive design despite their contrasting colors.

Built for peak performance, the cleats incorporate Nike’s Vapor Edge technology, delivering superior traction and speed for athletes. The textured, snakeskin-inspired upper pays homage to Kobe Bryant‘s legendary “Black Mamba” persona, seamlessly combining style and functionality on the gridiron.
