On Christmas Day, millions will watch as the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Miami Heat during the NBA's holiday game tradition. But despite the fact that LeBron and company will be coming to town, it is Kobe's kicks that will garner all of the attention.
The "Christmas" edition of the "Zoom Kobe VI" will debut on Bryant's feet during the game. And while this is not the first time Kobe has introduced new shoes on the holiday, it is the first time that they incorporate a Christmas theme, more specifically, "The Grinch."
Kobe Bryant has thrived in the role of NBA villian and this year he'll be setting out to ruin LeBron's Christmas with a big win. So there's no better character to emulate on-court than the iconic Dr. Seuss deviant. The Lime Green/Varsity Red colorway of the "Zoom Kobe VI" resemble The Grinch's green fur and the red Santa suit he wears as a disguise.
From a style standpoint, they are definitely not the most attractive pair of shoes and they might force you to adjust the color on your TV set come gametime. Perhaps the biggest problem of all will be pairing them with the Lakers' purple and gold hues. Yikes.
The shoes will be released on December 26th at select Nike Basketball retailers. But if you can wait that long, you can't pick up a pair at MarqueeSole.com for $259.99.
