Nike Kobe 6 Protro Grinch

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Grinch is one of the most iconic colourways in Kobe Bryant’s signature line, originally released in 2010 and celebrated in its Protro form in 2020. The design is instantly recognisable by its vibrant "apple green" synthetic upper paired with crimson red and black accents, reminiscent of the festive character from Dr. Seuss’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. The shoe combines aesthetic boldness with elite performance technology, featuring lightweight mesh and synthetic materials enhanced with an iconic snakeskin texture throughout the upper.

The sneaker is equipped with Flywire cables for lockdown security, a Cushlon midsole for lightweight, responsive cushioning, and a Zoom Air unit in the heel for impact protection. Its rubber outsole features a traction pattern perfect for multidirectional court movement. The Grinch remains a fan favourite for both its striking style and on-court performance excellence, cementing its status as a classic in the basketball sneaker world.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
