Nike Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinch

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinch is a highly anticipated alternate take on the iconic Kobe 6 “Grinch” colorway. Released in December 2023, this sneaker flips the original design’s colour palette from green to a vivid Bright Crimson red upper with Electric Green accents on the laces and Kobe’s signature “The Sheath” logo on the tongue. The upper is detailed with a striking snakeskin texture, highlighted by black Swooshes on the sides and a semi-translucent red heel counter with golden Kobe branding.

Built with performance in mind, the sneaker features Flywire cables for lockdown support, a Cushlon midsole for lightweight cushioning, and a Zoom Air unit in the heel for responsive impact protection. The traction outsole combines solid and translucent rubber etched with a snake scale pattern for multi-directional grip, best suited for indoor play.

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.
