Kobe to wear Grinch inspired sneakers on Christmas - For years now, we've grown accustomed to watching Kobe Bryant and the Lakers showcase both their talents and their special edition sneakers on live television for Christmas. Watching one of the most anticipated match-ups the NBA has to offer has become just as significant as opening presents on December 25th. However, one thing that we've been yet to see during the holiday extravaganza, is a shoe that garners as much attention as the game itself. Not only will we finally get to see one of the highest regarded regular season games in quite some years as the Lakers host the Heat, but we'll also get to see some of the more flashy footwork to step foot on the hardwood.
Making its debut this Christmas, is the newest installment of the Zoom Kobe sneaker that Team Nike and Bryant put together for this very occasion. While most basketball sneakers nowadays follow the color scheme of their team uniforms, Kobe's latest choice of footwear is definitely out of the ordinary, breaking all rules. Last Christmas we saw the debut of the "Chaos" Zoom Kobe V which had little to no comparison to the holiday. This year, #24 takes a much more appropriate approach to the holiday spirit. Behold, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI "Christmas" edition:
Serving as the inspiration behind these yet to be released sneakers, is one of my personal childhood favorites -- Dr. Suess' 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas'. Given the Lakers' uniform colors consist of white, purple, and gold, the vibrant color of electric green throughout will be sure to catch your eye. Unfortunately for those of you hoping to land these joints just in time for the holiday, will have to wait 'til the 26th when they're expected to hit selected Nike retailers. The good news for all you sneakerheads and basketball enthusiasts is you won't have any trouble trying to figure what to spend all that leftover Christmas money on. Look for Kobe to sport these bad boys as he and the Lakers hope to redeem themselves after the 102-87 blowout loss L.A. endured to the Cleveland Cavaliers last Christmas.
