The Los Angeles Lakers’ late Hall of Famer superstar Kobe Bryant’s shoe line is going to have a blast this year. In his career, the Black Mamba had a connection with two of the biggest brands in the sports industry. He has an affiliation with Nike and Addidas, both at different points of time in his life. And now, the two brands are preparing to relaunch their shoe style back into the market again. It looks like a new remix of classic shoes is going to hit the market.
Kobe Bryant New Edition
Kobe’s Crazy 1 sneakers, which he used to put on in his rookie seasons with the Lakers, will get refurbished. Apparently, the shoes will have a design theme based on the Lakers’ home and away jerseys. However, the Lakers now wear the purple jersey even at home and in some away games. Following the changes in the trend, the shoes will have a top with purple laces to make them Lakers fan-appropriate shoes. Apart from the outer look, the shoe will also have an absorptive injection molded EVA foam. This will allow the athletes to optimize and improve their lateral movement on the court, giving them an edge over the other players.
There were many shoes that Kobe Bryant wore during his entire career. However, Kobe 6 Grinch stands out for the fans. The holiday-themed Grinch had a special for the fans to buy that particular shoe. And when Anthony Davis wore the shoes in 2021 after his fatal accident, it was an emotional moment for the fans. Although Davis wore a reversed version of the shoes, it resembled the OG Grinch combo. And in 2023, the rumors suggest that the Reverse Grinch line could officially become Davis’ shoe. Meanwhile, the fans patiently wait for Nike’s Kobe Protro 6 Reverse Grinch and many more releases in the holidays.
Talking about the design of the shoes. The sneaker boasts a bold and striking colorway, combining bright crimson and black with electric green accents. The laces and iconic Mamba emblem on the tongue are highlighted in vibrant green. The upper, crafted from faux snakeskin, and mesh and featuring TPU reinforcements, is coated in rich red tones. The shoe looks astonishing, and the fans will show great anticipation. This will also enhance the Kobe Bryant legacy for further ahead in the future.
