Tis the season for Nike‘s annual collabs, and the company is killing it this year.
It’ll take some convincing to stop me from buying up every pair of Powerpuff Girls-themed Nikes, and now I have the new Kobe Bryant “reverse Grinch” sneakers to contend with. They come from the famous basketball star’s sought-after line of signature sneakers, and harken in the holiday season in thematic style.
The sneakers are bold, colorful, perfect for the holiday season, and they’re available to purchase. Getting a pair will quickly become a tall order, though, based on how mega popular the sneakers are, so get in quick if you’re hoping for a pair.
When do Nike’s Kobe 6 Protro ‘Reverse Grinch’ sneakers release?
Nike’s Christmas-themed — or, more accurately, Grinch-themed — sneakers were briefly purchasable, by a select number of consumers, during an early-December shock-drop. Only a few buyers got in on the limited-release drop, however, leaving everyone else to eagerly await the shoe’s official release.
The Kobe 6 Proto “Reverse Grinch” sneakers go on sale on Dec. 15 at 10:00am EST. Interest in the bright red and green sneakers is high, so they’re guaranteed to go fast, but interested buyers have a few avenues to ownership. The shoes will be available, in a limited capacity, in a few in-person stores — including Foot Locker — or they can be purchased online via Nike’s SNKRS website or app.
How much do they cost?
Buying up a pair of Nike’s limited-edition Kobe Bryant sneakers won’t be cheap, but — for those lucky few who get in on retail price — they also won’t break the bank. The shoes are currently selling for $190 in adult sizes, and $125 in kid sizes, making them a perfect (but pricey) gift for the holidays.
