The Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro “All-Star” is already slated for a 2021 release and that’s not all Nike has up their sleeve.
It is rumored that the fan-favorite “Grinch” colorway could be making its way back onto shelves as early as next year. The green apple/volt/crimson/black shoe was first mentioned by Soleheatonfeet on their Twitter account with text and a picture of the previous version of the shoe.
The shoe is expected to be a re-release of the iconic “Grinch” colorway that was first debuted in 2010 as part of Nike Basketball’s “Christmas Day” Collection. It was a must-have for sneakerheads all over the world.
Just recently, Bleacher Report Kicks posted a video of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson and his insane shoe collection, in which he featured the “Grinch” Kobe 6s as well as many others.

Nike has yet to confirm the release of the rumored 2021 version, but it could be very much on the way. Any Kobe Bryant shoe has been a must-have since his tragic death earlier this year. Nike has shown enormous respect to Kobe by halting any new releases as well as restocking shelves during his tragic passing.
