We’ve given you a teaser, but let’s dive deeper. Introducing Kobe Bryant’s Christmas Day Shoe: the Nike Zoom Kobe VI “Green Means Go.” Check out tons of amazingly detailed photos below. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

The limited-edition Christmas Day colorway of the Kobe VI will be worn on-court in green with red laces against the Heat.

I can't imagine why anyone would want spend ~$150 and wear something that ugly. Same for most popular athletes basketball shoes. Overpriced, and ugly as hell.

The non-green version of this shoe that that other guy posted (sorry I don't remember your name, but I remember your avatar) looked like a legit pair of shoes. These... ehhhhhh definitely for a specific person/outfit.

Zoom KObe II, IV and V were absolutely great so its normal that Nike screws up the next one.

I absolutely loved the ZK V in Westwood colors.

I hate the color and the pattern on the shoe. The red laces make it tolerable but I'd imagine these look much better in white or black.

Green? That sh*t belongs to Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, et al. :rolleyes:

On the bright side.. it looks like a Green Mamba.

Looks like a Celtic shoe. Why not come out with a Laker theme shoe. How about dark purple with light flakes of gold.

this.

the shoe is ugly as all get out, but this xmas/grinch concept is amazing marketing and pretty clever IMO.

I don;t see any big profitability in this. If the shoes were good and limited edition its a seller's market and they could price it highly and still maintain demand.

Looking at how ugly they are I don't think many people other than a select few sneaker heads being interested in owning it.

Badass, I like them.

They look light too, good pair to actually play some ball in.
