Released on Christmas Day 2010, the Zoom Kobe 6 Grinch features a lime green colorway that recalls Dr. Suess infamous holiday grouch. However, the shoe itself was actually inspired by the green mamba, a colorful take on Bryants Black Mamba nickname. The shoes snakeskin-textured upper further plays to that inspiration, while Varsity Red adds to the Christmas look. Zoom Air and an external heel counter support the fit.
