Dating all the way back to the Air Jordan 7 &#8220;Cardinal,&#8221; there has been quite the abundance of festively hued sneakers within recent years and arguably none was better than the <strong>&#8220;Grinch&#8221; Nike Kobe 6<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>With that silhouette being remembered as a favorite among many, we decided to highlight the model for this week&#8217;s edition of <strong>Throwback Thursday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To see for yourself, flip through the pages below to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Kobe Bryant: GOAT?<\/h2>\n<p>Around the arrival of the Nike Kobe 6, Kobe Bryant had amassed so many NBA accolades that plenty began to broach the topic of &#8220;Greatest Ever&#8221; when it came to the Black Mamba. With his five titles inching closer to Jordan&#8217;s six and the ever-so striking resemblance to MJ&#8217;s game, Kobe Bryant was forging a path that many had embarked on but few had endured.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off of a championship season, the Los Angeles Lakers were primed for another run at the title. With essentially the same team returning during the 2010-2011 campaign, Bryant would hit the court in his latest signature, the Nike Kobe 6.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Next in Line: Nike Kobe 6<\/h2>\n<p>Featuring a lower cut that became accustom to his line, the Nike Kobe 6 featured a textured upper that derived from Kobe&#8217;s &#8220;Black Mamba&#8221; nickname as the embossed &#8220;snake scales&#8221; became a fan favorite. In addition, the upper would be backed by Nike Flywire technology and the angular design was created as a fashion forward approach to Kobe&#8217;s line.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving in over 30 different and distinguishable colorways, the Nike Kobe 6 would ultimately grow to become one of the more popular hoops sneakers both on and off the court.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The &#8220;Grinch&#8221; Who Stole Christmas<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned previously, the 2010-11 season was a pretty strong year for Kobe Bryant. Amassing totals that fall in line with his play over the years, Mamba had averages of 27 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds per outing. With the then newly formed &#8220;Big Three&#8221; taking place in Miami at the time, few were focused on Bryant and Company as they chased a &#8220;Three-Peat&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, on Christmas Day in 2010, Bryant gathered every sneakerheads&#8217; attention as newly formed &#8220;Big Three&#8221; of the Miami Heat took on the Los Angeles Lakers in which Kobe brought out the &#8220;Grinch&#8221; Nike Kobe 6. Featuring incredibly vibrant hues throughout the upper, this rather tonal makeup also included dual laces coming in both red and the aforementioned &#8220;Grinch&#8221; green hue. Bryant would tally a rather mundane\u00a0stat line on Christmas Day with the totals of 17 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Legacy of the Nike Kobe 6<\/h2>\n<p>With versatility within both fashion and on-court performance, the Nike Kobe 6 is arguably one of the more solid silhouettes within the entire Black Mamba lineage. On occasion we&#8217;ve spotted several celebrities make their rounds in the model, such as Kanye West, Rob Kardashian and NFL safety Thomas DeCoud.<\/p>\n<p>Also, within the realm of the NBA, several players have either iD&#8217;d the Nike Kobe 6 or sported an inline colorway such as DeAndre Jordan and Rajon Rondo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each and every holiday season, plenty of basketball enthusiasts gather around the television to see what their favorite NBA players&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":477520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1224791,1225493,34],"tags":[1225587,1203927,1225736,1225494,1225484],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Throwback Thursday \/\/ &quot;Grinch&quot; Nike Kobe 6 | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Throwback Thursday \/\/ &quot;Grinch&quot; Nike Kobe 6 shoes.
