Even though I've watched reviews already, I was waiting for yours lol. This is such an iconic sneaker and well done on Nike's part, I just wish he was here to see it. RIP Kobe and Gigi, both were gone too soon ❤
@@mintofta i do find it interesting that both him and jacque slade have said that there is a heel zoom unit but nightwing from weartesters says there isn't. can't lie, i trust nightwing(chris) more
@@skinniesANDtitties for tech specs I wouldn’t trust any of these new guys. Makes sense for them to cut out an expensive zoom unit for foam which is much better these days. Can’t say I’m happy about it though. Kobe 6 was always going to be a tough one as it was so good to begin with. Hard to improve perfection!
He needs to get his history right. Before he makes a review on TH-cam. He said so many wrong things about this shoe. Besides he’s gonna end up selling anyways
🔥SETH FOWLER🔥 This shoe will go down in the Kobe line history. Such a classic shoe, the whole world trynna go for these. I’ve only played in Kobe’s and the 9s were always my go to. But seeing others play in the 6s the 4s I’ve always wanted my own. This was the colorway I’ve always coveted, the one that just explodes with nostalgia and the right amount of LOUD 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I some how got early access on these and went straight to foot. I completely agree with sizing up with these (I wear a 14). A grail I thought I would never have
Maybe the goat basketball shoes. Although you mentioned the achilles injury, but the original Kobe 6 (Grinch) released in the 10-11 season, and Kobe didnt tear his achilles until April 2013
The Holiday collections were how I got invested into Nike Basketball. They always had nice collections like the Easter series and the Christmas ones. I’m assuming since sales went down over the years (Around the KD 8 & 9 era), Nike stopped doing holiday collections because they weren’t selling out how they used to. Hopefully one day they make a return because the colorways were super unique.
no heel zoom, only large articulated forefoot zoom and it looks like the foam is an injected phylon like the kobe4. Kobe only had one achilles injury surgery and it's not with kobe 6, it was the kobe8 and that's why kobe 9 onwards have those sort of stiches graphic on the heel, kobe9 onwards also have reduced material in the heel or less bulk so that he will have better mobility due to his achilles. Still, great shoes and congrats for getting a pair of kobe6, i'm just preparing for my L tomorrow..
He only had one Achilles surgery and the heavy padding was to secure the heel like soccer shoes. Kobe did not tear his Achilles until the Kobe 8s. Also there is no zoom in the heel. They only put the Zoom turbo in the front.
I seen 3 reviews already. Had to peep Seth’s mainly because we are the same size and I got wide feet lol! So u be looking out with the recommendations. This is a for sure cop. I know my luck with SNKRS is ass... so I’m waiting for the resell to drop a bit more.
crazy thing about this shoe also is when they first came out I remember seeing these and the south beach lebron 8s at NikeTown. They actually had sat and didn't sell out immediately. A decade later thats definitely not happening now.
If you have narrow feet and wear off white size 9 comfortably for most shoes (vapormax, etc), would you go tts or half size up. Jordan 1 I wear size 9 as well
Built for basketball, PROTRO these fye, love these Kobe 6 are sneaker of the year for me SOTY fire! Probably taking an L which is sad because I am the biggest Kobe and Lakers fan. I may have to go buy the OG version hope the OG price drops or Nike drops 10,000,000,000 pairs of these!
Yo am I trippen or is the glue just visible to me. I just received my pair from goat and it's really bothering me on mine. Had to make sure on someone else's. Also the heel has these weird specks as if it was dirty
When they originally came out they weren't called Grinch by Nike. The blogs gave them that name. They're not going to call them Grinch this year because it cost money to name them that. They would have to pay a fee to the people that own "Grinch" and we'd have to pay a bit more for the sneaker
Great video and review . One thing, the padded heel has nothing to do with his achilles injury but fit and performance. This shoe came out 2-3 years before his achilles injury
@SethFowler do they fit better than the Kobe Vs? I mean the Kobe Vs are very snug. I originally wear a size 9 but with the protro Vs, I went half a size up though I do not hoop them. If these kobe VI fit way better, I think I might go true to size. What would you recommend? Thanks!
@@ralphuy9857 I am getting it to hoop but as for casual the 6 is not a snug as the 5 so going true to size is ok unless you have a wide foot then go half size up
This is the first time I actually like the sock-shoe pairing you've chosen. Clean bro. Real clean. Edit: Damn you Seth. Now I HAVE TO pay resale for these after watching this LMAO.
So for all of y'all that got a W from snkrs or whatever and are keeping them to wear. These fit more snug then the OGs for sure. I know everybodys foot is different but I would go a half size up at the least. NOT a full size.
This is hands down the best kobe sneaker. Rip to the mamba. 🙏
@@WyWid performance wise. 👌 Looks too.
Thats subjective. Anyone can say this is an ugly kobe performance sneaker. Who would want to play ball in green shoes?
I think this is a close second to the kobe 8 "what the"
@@Aesthetic626 an awful lot of NBA players
Its the best sneaker wdym???
Even though I've watched reviews already, I was waiting for yours lol. This is such an iconic sneaker and well done on Nike's part, I just wish he was here to see it. RIP Kobe and Gigi, both were gone too soon ❤
There were 7 others who died in that crash. FYI.
Kobe didn't have "a lot of Achilles surgeries." The shoe released in 2010 before his injury. That isn't why there's a lot of padding on the ankles
fr, homie made up some shit rn
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. Also, clear heel counter? Clearly not!

Already preparing for my L.
Stay hopeful homie , was expecting a L aswell but just got a email for a raffle win 😀, hope you can score your pair !
A W is coming your way big dog!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays Seth! Love your content. Thanks for keeping us up to date in upcoming sneaker releases.
Those are sexy lol bro I don’t know what to call them 😂😂
Classic..yeah bro I found a nother name lol 😂
Got my exclusive Access from Nike SNKRS 🇬🇧 big W to end the Year
Bloody wanker!
@@abrahamromero3910 fam tf he did to u 😂
Stadium goods either never has my size or they’re overpriced by $200 than any other 3rd market website
Overpriced for sure lol
They tried charging me $920 for the off noir Union 4’s. I said LOL bet then went home and bought the guavas for almost $200 less than that🤣
In Thailand the Kobe are 205$ because of the damn taxes
@@Chavanun555 230 In japan :)

A few minutes ago, I just got an email that I got a W. Then you upload your review. Happy Holidays, Seth!
We miss you, Kobe and Gigi!🙏🙏 Merry Christmas everyone!
never clicked so fast. hopefully most of us who actually want this can cop, my OG grinches are falling apart!

the best kobe shoe for me. i have one and use it outdoors. Man they last so long. ive used it from 2010 to 2019
Best sillhouette of a basketball performance shoe Nike has ever made.
I'm not usually into performance-looking shoes but these are definitely something else. That colorway is fantastic
Damn, I wish Kobe could see this Video. Very Descriptive, Happy Holidays everybody.🎄
This might have to be the first Kobe pickup on my behalf they look amazing
Hey y’all 😃☀️
Jesus Christ Loves you all! 💚
Blessings to y’all! 🙌
Hope everyone having a great day!
I remember being in high school checking my phone everyday after Thanksgiving for news on the Nike basketball christmas releases. miss those days
Miss them Christmas signature packs!
Nike News says “The heel features a softer, more responsive foam.” Pretty sure they took the Zoom out of the heel.
Great video Seth. Much love from the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
I some how got early access on these and went straight to foot. I completely agree with sizing up with these (I wear a 14). A grail I thought I would never have
💯
Yea basketball shoes is a must size up. I got my size 14
Maybe the goat basketball shoes. Although you mentioned the achilles injury, but the original Kobe 6 (Grinch) released in the 10-11 season, and Kobe didnt tear his achilles until April 2013
Mine fits tight also. It’s a classic shoe with a rich history.
Not officially named Grinch due to licensing.
Same goes for any other nickname for their sneakers..Nike would have to pay up. I thought it was obvious
Merry Christmas Seth !!!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
I had the white/grey color way in middle school. These shoes are the best!
Nike can’t call their shoes “the Grinch” just like grinch can’t call himself “Nike”. It’s called trademark infringement.
My favorite Kobe is the Adidas Crazy 8 Nightmare Before Christmas. Super underrated sneaker. My Grail.
The Holiday collections were how I got invested into Nike Basketball. They always had nice collections like the Easter series and the Christmas ones. I’m assuming since sales went down over the years (Around the KD 8 & 9 era), Nike stopped doing holiday collections because they weren’t selling out how they used to. Hopefully one day they make a return because the colorways were super unique.
Most definitely Copt for the collection and as always don’t video brother merry Christmas!!!
Out on the 26th in the UK. These are definetly for the personal collection. What a shoe.
I totally agree about the Nike basketball releases . They use to be so fun and unique , they should bring that back for sure
5:34 my man got a point bc I remember back in the day when the lebron 9 christmas and the kobe 7 christmas released
such a fire shoe...couldn't get these back then..i was a freshmen in hs when these originally came out..hopefully i can cop tomorrow
The 2010 Xmas nba shoes that came out were all fire I feel, great vid man
I'm going to try to cop retail first... These are a must have so if I have to pay resale, so be it.
I hope they come back for their 15th year anniversary 🤞🏻
No cap best shoe of 2020 hands down
💯
Got my first W on SNKRS of the year with these. Wish I would’ve watched the review first to go up a size but at least I got them! 🙌
Those don’t have zoom air units in the back, check Nike’s site.
I just remembered that we are getting another Top 10 video for the worst sneakers of 2020 and I got excited! Those are the funniest!
Great video mate. Are Kobe Protro 4 or 6 more wide/flat feet friendly?
Im number 182 liked ...great memorial video to end off the year for coby and his sneakers ..good job Seth
Rip Kobe, those good sir. are some GREEEEEEN shoes 🟢🟩
Bro I love these if I get enough money this Christmas I want to get these merry Christmas to all
Nice review bro. Straight to the point
Thinking P. Knight was afraid of Dr. Seuss' Legal Team from Whoville..lol. Nice shoes, good luck to those who want a pair tomorrow. Merry Christmas.
Invest in the Kobe hall of fame Spalding basketball. Price will go up to over 2k next year.
no heel zoom, only large articulated forefoot zoom and it looks like the foam is an injected phylon like the kobe4. Kobe only had one achilles injury surgery and it's not with kobe 6, it was the kobe8 and that's why kobe 9 onwards have those sort of stiches graphic on the heel, kobe9 onwards also have reduced material in the heel or less bulk so that he will have better mobility due to his achilles.

I've taken L on every Kobe drop, An with that said all I wanted for X-Mas .You Got It ..Tha Protro 6, my prayers were a answer ..I cop on Dickes
He only had one Achilles surgery and the heavy padding was to secure the heel like soccer shoes. Kobe did not tear his Achilles until the Kobe 8s. Also there is no zoom in the heel. They only put the Zoom turbo in the front.
Seth looks like he's gonna steal Christmas

Just bought mine 7-15 days 🤘🤘
Ik I might get some hate, these are my favorite shoes in appearance wise. Haven’t gotten these YET because I don’t have sneaker money.
If you have narrow feet and wear off white size 9 comfortably for most shoes (vapormax, etc), would you go tts or half size up. Jordan 1 I wear size 9 as well
Got an email from our local Nike Store last night - I took a W for this pair 😍😍😍😍
Built for basketball, PROTRO these fye, love these Kobe 6 are sneaker of the year for me SOTY fire! Probably taking an L which is sad because I am the biggest Kobe and Lakers fan. I may have to go buy the OG version hope the OG price drops or Nike drops 10,000,000,000 pairs of these!
Easily the best Kobe sneaker of all time.
I had the biggest luck and got a W on the sneaker app (first time ever). The shoes arrive in 2 days...
just got mine today👌
Day 102 till Seth does an Air Dior review.
This would be legendary, but I don't think it will ever happen
he said that he either put a down payment on his house or he bought the diors for resale soooo i don’t think it’s happening
If I’m a size 9 in the Kobe 1 protro, what size should I go for these?
You gotta rock them with the red laces
Dope. Now I just need the Beethoven's and Moonwalker's
I have the “thriller jackets” in my collection 🐍
I recently bought 6 pairs on eBay anticipating the market will double on these in the next few years 👍💯💥
Give me one so I can hoop 😢
Yo am I trippen or is the glue just visible to me. I just received my pair from goat and it's really bothering me on mine. Had to make sure on someone else's. Also the heel has these weird specks as if it was dirty
Where’s the Frozen Blue video?
Seth, can u please review the supreme air max plus mean green please? I love those shoes!

How many are excited about the reverse grinch I want a pair bad ❤
People who don’t even like em or knew they existed will still go for em
I just got a W right now on the restock !!! Let’s fucken gooo!!!!
Same here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whereee
Mine are coming today! 👍👍
Just got my pair today
Resell prices are around 300 atm. So not profitable right? Maybe not many resellers on them so could be a WIN or?
Oh they’re there.
The best Kobe sneaker❤️🇧🇦
Copped them last week 🔥
Chris from wear testers said there was no heel zoom unit...?
Still so sad about losing Kobe 🙏🏽🙏🏽😭😭
got extra lucky on the snkrs app yesterday and got me a 9.5 pair 🐍🙌🏼 RIP kobe
they fit differently then the OG. The retro fit more snug so hopefully u went up a half size up.
How did they fit since I heard they’re not true to size?
@@SS-ys2pg im actually gettin them deliver today usually im a 9 but i always go 9.5 just in case will see
@@phryme90 Have you worn? If so how’s the sizing
@@SS-ys2pg im planing on wearing them tom i tried em on and they feel good but i did went half a number up i always do
Great video and review . One thing, the padded heel has nothing to do with his achilles injury but fit and performance. This shoe came out 2-3 years before his achilles injury
Maybe I'm Wrong, but I think they did not call it the Grinch because of copyright reasons?
Just wish Nike would’ve release them a couple weeks ago so the people who want to rock them on Christmas could’ve.
How many pairs they sell ?
I think Nike does not go with Grinch due to trademark🤷🎄
Best Kobe ever !!!!
@SethFowler do they fit better than the Kobe Vs? I mean the Kobe Vs are very snug. I originally wear a size 9 but with the protro Vs, I went half a size up though I do not hoop them. If these kobe VI fit way better, I think I might go true to size. What would you recommend? Thanks!
You wanna hoop in them or casual?
@@Chavanun555 hi bro! Casual. What do you recommend?
@@ralphuy9857 I am getting it to hoop but as for casual the 6 is not a snug as the 5 so going true to size is ok unless you have a wide foot then go half size up
@@Chavanun555 thank you very much bro! That’s very helpful. I will try to get my true to size on the release date here in Australia. Thanks!
@@ralphuy9857 No problem bro. Hope you get a W!!
So These Basically Run In The Same Sizing Form As Yeezys???!!! 1/2 Size Up???!!!
Beautiful pair of sneakers
Rip Kobe 🐐
Very informative review
This is the first time I actually like the sock-shoe pairing you've chosen. Clean bro. Real clean.
Edit: Damn you Seth. Now I HAVE TO pay resale for these after watching this LMAO.
Bozo. Can’t wait to take your money.
@@AGENT-J-bt2mm Unless you’re one of my local resellers, which I know you’re not, you’re the bozo. Clown.
Straight fire 🔥
Hopefully SNKRS will bless me with something other than Jordan 11s 🤞🏽
I think its Cushlon with zoom turbo
Mamba forever
Oh nice
Thank you
What size should I take when I have 12 us in zoom freak 1 and 12.5 us in zoom freak 2
So for all of y'all that got a W from snkrs or whatever and are keeping them to wear. These fit more snug then the OGs for sure. I know everybodys foot is different but I would go a half size up at the least. NOT a full size.
