Sneaker Files and zSneakerheadz report that the “Reverse Grinch” Kobe 6 is on deck for Holiday 2023. The model officially returned in the “Mambacita Sweet 16” colorway last May following the renewal of the partnership between Kobe Bryant’s estate and Nike. Since then, Nike has paced itself with Kobe Protro releases and appears to have the “Reverse Grinch” pair lined up for the all-important holiday shopping season.
A specific release date hasn’t been confirmed at this time, but we’ll follow-up with new details as they become available.
