Kobe Bryant was a legend in basketball but he was also a pioneer when it came to basketball sneakers. Of course, Kobe had an unsuccessful stint with Adidas before switching over to Nike in the 2000s. One of his most popular models was none other than the Nike Kobe 6 which dropped back in 2011. Now, the sneaker is about to get a Protro since 2021 marks the 10-year anniversary of the silhouette. Fans are extremely excited about this prospect and as it turns out, there are plenty of dope retros in the works, including one of the "Grinch" colorway.
The Twitter sneaker insider account @soleheatonfeet has been providing fans with an abundance of information in regards to these Protros and the latest colorway to be revealed is the infamous 3D-Hollywood offering which dropped around the 2011 All-Star game. As you can see, there is a snake-like upper covered in red, blue, and black. This colorway is actually a fan-favorite and based on the reactions, people are excited to try and add these to their collection.
For now, all we know is that they will be dropping in 2021. An official release date has yet to be announced so stay tuned for details.
Nike Zoom Kobe 6 To Receive Protro In 2021: Details
Another Kobe Bryant sneaker is about to get the retro treatment.
Kobe Bryant has left behind an incredible basketball legacy that not only includes some incredible accomplishments on the basketball court but some iconic sneakers as well. Over the past few years, Nike has been honoring Kobe with some Protro versions of his early Nike silhouettes, and now, it appears as though he will be receiving the same thing in the form of the Nike Zoom Kobe 6.
This particular model led to some great colorways and we will certainly see some of them retroed in the new year. According to SoleHeatOnFeet, one of the first colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro will be similar to his "All-Star" offering which was known for its red, white, and black aesthetic.
So far, The Kobe 1, 4, and 5 have all received their very own Protros so it would only make sense that the Kobe 6 is the next one to receive the same treatment. What would really be dope is if they were to retro the Kobe 6 "Grinch" which is notorious for being one of the best Nike basketball colorways of all time.
Let us know in the comments below how you feel about this silhouette and whether or not you would ever cop it.
