Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Reverse Grinch": Review & On-Feet
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 12. 2023
- Following the protro release of the original "Grinch" Nike Kobe 6 in 2021, Nike Basketball followed it up with a "Reverse Grinch" colourway that released last week. Swapping the original colours, the signature green upper is now red, while red accents and laces are now a vibrant electric green shade. Check out my review of this highly sought after sneaker and let me know if you managed to score a pair for yourself as well!

Was able to get them for retail 🙌🏾.. haven’t put on feet yet but did get half size up for the casual wear… thanks for the vid .. always a good time watching
Dang Sean, back again with the heat 🔥
Another top notch review Sean. These are definitely a must!!
Thanks for the reviews man! never dissapoints!
✌️✌️✌️✌️
one of those shoes that looks sick but is pretty hard to rock for casual wear
Agreed. Dope sneaker tho
They a bright red shoe, keep the outfit monotone and you good
It’s not meant to be for casual tho
Not hard at all. If you put on a matching fire red colored shirt, you can wear just about any pants color. Or imagine how they’d look with a white hoodie, grey pants and the red Kobe’s. Not hard
These made my top 5 of the year
Smooth review. The best! 👍
Love the reviews as per usual. Any Salomon xt6 reviews?
Hey Sean, great review as always. In terms of sizing, unless you have very narrow feet I’d recommend going up half a size even for playing ball, especially if you wear elite socks or other basketball socks. I have slightly wider feet and even going up half a size, there is still quite a bit of pressure and discomfort during the break in period. The protros fit a lot tighter than the OG because it has thicker zoom unit and denser foam, so the inside of the shoe feels smaller on the foot. Shoe sizes are generally measured from the outsole length, not how they fit on the inside!
Dope shoe. Awesome review! Thank you 🙏
Appreciate it!
wow sean this pair is insane !!!!!!!!.. nice crewneck as well
thank you!
Damn Sean you have em all! Salute!
👌👌👌👌
Looking forward to seeing your list
I wanted these badly but was away all day and missed the 2 cdn raffles I saw. Got the nb 1998 intro though. Looking at resell for these. I own two grinch 6’s so 👍
My favorite pick of the year
100% agree with the red shoe strings thru 👌🏽 Top 5 of the Year for me 🐍
My sneaker of the year!!!
One of top 20 absolutely
Good vid I got lucky on SNKRS for my pair and footlocker for my son pair definitely my top 3 pick up
I missed so many raffles! I wish i could cope a pair too!
For the Kobe Protro 4 which is comming :
Comparing against Kobe 6 & 8 protro?
Should I get the same size on this Kobe 4 protro?
I go half size up (I use US 12 in almost every Jordan or Nike) and in Kobes the 12.5 is perfect. When I tried the US12 it fitted me short on the toe, I need that 0,5 cm of extra lenght.
Should I do the same for the 4s protro?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi Sean do you know if Canada is getting the power puff Nike SBs? If so which stores?
The shoe was highly anticipated, but the review is not... just playing. Great review as always.
lmfao 😂
You are just cooool like the way you talk about shoes 😎
Hi sean. How about kobe 8 tts or add half a size?
I had bought the 2020 Grinches, and I sadly had to get rid of them. I bought them in a size 10, and they didn't fit at all. I stupidly ended up letting them go. Fast foward to today, I missed on the shock drop, but I was lucky enough to get Exclusive Access even though i Had bought the Kobe 8 Halos in August. I bought them again in a size 10. This time they fit perfect. I've worn them about 5-6 times. They're really comfortable to me. I'm a teacher, so I've been wearing them with Christmas themed t shirts and brown pants. They look great to me. I think the sizing working out this time was due to me losing over 25 pounds from 2020. If only i had kept the OGs n the collection back then....
do you have wide feet and went true to size then went to break it in to fit perfectly?
@@nniivekkappo7544 for this Reverse pair I went size 10. I do have wide feet. To make matters worse, my left foot measures 9.5 and my left measures 9. I usually got size 10 for Kobe’s. They end up being a little longer than I’d like, but they not too tight. The 6s are pretty snug. Even as a 10.
I like these but I think the Italian Camo next year will hit a bit harder and prefer the original Grinch 6s overall
It’s a beauty but tough asf to get it!
Is this better than the Italian camo?
Since these are a bit tight, happy to buy them off you :)
May someone tell me why the original Grinch pair was hyped up a few years back? Because there weren't many neon colored sneakers at that time? I'm not hating on the shoes, I'm just asking honestly cause I'm not really informed on basketball shoes. And it's rare to see a pair of modern basketball sneakers got that much attention, since most of the time people just look for retro Jordan models
Tried to sell a pair, eBay authentication denied my shoes because extra laces were missing? Very frustrating
I was not able to get these
Fortunate to have both. Got the Grinch on release day in Dec 2020 then the Reverse Grinch on Shock Drop in Nov. while I was at work!! 🐍
Look very cool but I can't justify it with how rare I'd wear it along with the high resale
Thank God I got these retail. I will be hooping in them like how it suppose to be though lol. The casual wear people can cry about it😂😂
Cant wait to get my pair, so happy i copped, but those green laces have to go. They look out of place. They should have come with red laces.
🔥
Sean how's the sizing of your kith mickey crewneck .. ty 😊
tts but baggy fit
fire shoe
Hi Sean, which store did you get this from in Toronto?
Livestock
Whats with the blk dots i have those aswell bottom heel
probably just the rubber that was used
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 And Red Is My Favorite Color
Hit on shock drop
Yo Sean, what are the pants that you are wearing?
They’re Under Armour adjustable joggers
Retail win my Guy !!! : 0
whooooooo
R they worth the $500+ that I need to pay right now? Thanks!
Meh probably not.
I took L and paid resell for it.. as it’s a must for me.
Does anybody think that paying resell on these is a worthwhile investment?
These are easier to rock than the original grinch🔥🔥🔥
🔥. after getting all L’s for all the past Kobe protros, FINALLY got EA for these. i guess taking L’s finally paid off 🤣
nice congrats!
@@SeanGo 🙏🏻
Shocker I actually hit on SNKRS top ten for sure
Ua?
Nope
you never talked about the box
Yeah, forgot but it’s a scaly plain black box.
I just copped off flight club for 600$ 😒🤦♂️ real sneaker head since the 90s early 2000s I couldn’t stand not to have them in my collection
Hands down no regrets on picking up a pair especially since I have the 2020 grinch
These are a 100$ shoe and people are already paying 500 🤦🏻🤷🏻♂️
Never a Kobe release W for me....
Not my thing. 😮
Red laces not it imo ruins the point
Is it even a surprise that once again, Nike refuses to honor Vanessa Bryant's wish that her late husband's shoes be more accessible and reach the hands and feet of actual, long time Kobe fans like me. I refuse to cave in to the resell market peddling his shoes like they are high cost jewelry
Before Kobe's death, no one paid attention of Kobe shoes
Yeah it’s wild
Cool but a no for me
As I took my L, this is hard to watch.
