These Reverse Grinches came out incredibly well, def in my top 3 sneakers for the whole year (probably #2 for me) and of course absolute must cop. I don't have the best luck with super hyped releases of late but def hope to grab these. Huge fan of Kobe sneakers and Kobe 6s are my favorite Kobe model of them all. One of my favorite ever sneakers to ball in , just unreal performance sneakers imo. This colorway is also very much a bold / statement sneaker as well. Just a great sneaker 10 / 10 ; best of luck to all of us going for them to take as many retail Ws as possible.
My only argument is that Kobe wasn’t alive to wear these so they don’t feel that special to me. With that being said, this color scheme is nice but just not better than the original. I’m going to side with Buckets on this one.
I was excited for these when I heard they were releasing . I took an L on the shock drop but I met the criteria for EA and coped a pair. And I agree having Kobe’s sneakers does make you feel closer to him.🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
Nike Shouldn't stop there, why not drop a Black Grinch next year! Overall make the shoe black, with a green Nike swoosh, and red laces! And before any of you say anything, you know that shit will sell out as well! WHAT SAY YOU NIKE??? BRING ON THE BLACK KOBE 6 GRINCHS!!!!
These are beautiful! I decided to pass on the 11's for these, so I'm hoping I get lucky with the release! I ran my grinchs' into the ground but I still have the laces! Thank god these are in men sizes!
On my list the whole year, got em via EA! It was awesome! Never had a Protro before either. Love love love this pair! RIP Kobe. My favorite player of all time
I have a lot of Kobe Ls, but I did buy the Kobe 8 Halos in August. I still got the EA right at 11:00 on the dot. I was at work, but I was on the lookout for it. I submitted my entry and copped in 2 minutes.
I love 6s, they the goat hoop shoe ever imo but i hate this colorway. How is shiny all red colorwayy even look good. Just too loud😩 most i guess like it cus of the name kobe "grinch"
I missed every drop lol and buy other nike basketball product weekly daily and still missed out only thing that is messed up i saw millions of people selling them asap 😢😢
Just my opinion these are just ok did I want them :yes But now on release date I kinda changing my mind. Kobe’s are not the lifestyle sneaker it’s a real basketball sneaker. I personally can’t pull them off unless I’m wearing sweats all the time. It’s an all red sneaker which is dated.
Wish these egg resellers would pee off and let others at least get 1 pair instead of buying 20 pairs then selling them at 500 percent the store asking price. And I’m sure these will go off the shelf due to the resellers. Wish people would stop buying from these people and put them out of business and let them sit on their thousands worth of inventory
I hit on the 11s and I was like let me see if I’m going to get this Kobe’s I was already like I’m not going to get em 6 - 7 min pass I’m like yup it’s over then on my iPhone I have the 14 that black bar at the top shows the Kobe’s I clicked it went straight to the SNKRS app said GOT EM bruh I ended off the year with the best cop I could ask for
I don't get too hype on sneakers all the time. Only pair I did was the Jordan 3 Reimagined. Snagged those for retail. But this Kobe is making me feel that same type of way and I just hope I can snag one when it drops and not have to pay crazy retail.
Gotta be honest here: these are riding the Grinch pair hype. But they’re not it. They weren’t used by Kobe and I’m not here for it. I wish og kobes were more available.
Crazy i get a like from you on my comment and then i hit on the reverse on snkrs today lolll since the protro 4 draft day kobes i have not hit on any kobe i was hype today lol im good for x mas now
I hit on the Shock!! I couldn’t believe it. They’re amazing. Seriously! If you think they look good in pics, just wait til you get em in hand! The texturing on the scales is insane! All the little shapes and sizes of them too. Just wow. These are ridiculous!
This is the reverse grinch. I think the gradient starts from the sole and works up instead of top to bottom. And right along the eyelets has a darker red
I plan on heading to the Employee Store and trying to grab me a pair in my size. Suppose to have like 100 of size 12. But I don't get off till 4 and its a 2 hour drive to Beaverton.
Hahaha throughout this vid all I was thinking about the exact point on the rating scale and how this can't be a 10 along with the OG Grinch and then Buckets said the same !
Its funny because I know where Buckets is coming from with the scoring vs the OG Grinch, but I get where Foamer is at with these as well. But if the OG Grinch is a 10/10 then these are not a 10 in my opinion. Because these aren't as good as those. I give these a 9/10. And there's nothing wrong with that. Peace to all and stay safe.

Love the kicks. They are all timers. But ultimate respect for the Styles P album on the table. 💪🏾
Can always count on a laugh when you guys go back and forth! MUCH APPRECIATED.
I got so lucky to hit on these. Straight 🔥. Maybe my favourite release in the last 2-3 years.
i got lucky and hit 2 pairs
same here...straight to ebay. cleared over $200. i can't believe ppl pay over retail for this plastic crap, this thing is awful.
If there can only be one 10, then the Kobe Grinch is a 10/10 and the Kobe reverse Grinch are a 9.99/10.
Buckets aka Goal Mover 😂
this Video is a 10/10
There has to be quite a few 10/10’s that are better or not as good as the other 10/10’s so it’s impossible to say if any pair should be a 10/10
Hot kicks dope sound track 10/10
Drop that terminator shirt again
"That's not how math works " 😅
is the release a US exclusive?
Got EA on these beauties. Best of luck to all trying to cop 🙏🙏
The biggest hit is mixing them both and wearing one green and one red…just imagine!
Fr 😂 shit would be dope
I need those in my life lol bro 😂
Might look like those Lamelo Rick and Morty shoes
Just no … 😂
@@waltzforvenus_9164 I hear you bro lol
they look better with red laces
Releasing the 16th you mean?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
They’re good but I’m not digging these that much…I’m with Buckets
My only argument is that Kobe wasn’t alive to wear these so they don’t feel that special to me. With that being said, this color scheme is nice but just not better than the original. I’m going to side with Buckets on this one.
My beat was a better flip for this beat 😅😅😅 let me know who wanna hear it
Two L’s already hope is very low…..and frolicking is crazy
I was excited for these when I heard they were releasing . I took an L on the shock drop but I met the criteria for EA and coped a pair. And I agree having Kobe’s sneakers does make you feel closer to him.🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
Wait so since I haven’t met the requirements for the exclusive access I can’t even try to get the shoes at all?
Like for the December 15th ones
@@Zav1for1 the criteria was only for EA so anyone can cop on 12/15
@@louisrothman383 oh ok good cause ima try to get them
I agree with you both. 10/10. Perfect sneaker. But not as good as the OG grinch. Maybe 9.9/10 Mr. Esquire
🤣🤣🤣

I've copped 1 sneaker in 2023. That being the Kobe 8 Halo. I hope to make these the 2nd pair I cop this year
Thought I closed out the year with the Graditutes, but damn.... ima try to purchase these 10/10 💯
that background music of the girl …
Background music name?
Hot take... these are not the best nor the top 10 of 2023
I paid resale for these a few days ago, do you think they will go up much in the next year?
Another great video foamy and young buckets! Keep up the great content! Love it! 🔥🔥🔥
I dunno, I’d need to see these close up, but first impressions, while the style is spot on, they look……… cheap.
I missed every drop lol and buy other nike basketball product weekly daily and still missed out only thing that is messed up i saw millions of people selling them asap 😢😢
Just my opinion these are just ok did I want them :yes
But now on release date I kinda changing my mind.
Kobe’s are not the lifestyle sneaker it’s a real basketball sneaker. I personally can’t pull them off unless I’m wearing sweats all the time. It’s an all red sneaker which is dated.
Man I'm just like you! I hit on the shock drop, but i need one more pair to wear
The black Maniére 5 is sneaker of the year ✅✅✅
I hit on exclusive access, they arrived today (12/9) by UPS , I can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“I’ll charge thru this camera!!” 😂😂😂 love it 👌👍
I can't wait until the model 2 of the Uncivilized Sneaker
Wish these egg resellers would pee off and let others at least get 1 pair instead of buying 20 pairs then selling them at 500 percent the store asking price.

Watermelon shoe😂

I wish og kobes were more available.
I passed up both A ma maniere 5’s
Cus I thought I would be paying resell lucky it didn’t come to that
These shoes are ugly as hell, I wouldn't wear them and hate the color red. I bought them for my son for Christmas, I hope he likes them.
Crazy i get a like from you on my comment and then i hit on the reverse on snkrs today lolll since the protro 4 draft day kobes i have not hit on any kobe i was hype today lol im good for x mas now
Hit the thumbs up button if you’re rocking this pair with shorts and plain shirt off court. 🔥
I didn't get them and I'm not paying retail so I don't have them in my top because I won't ever get them. It is what it is.
Those would look cool with the red laces from the original pair
The demand is artificial, it's all bots and resellers. You can see that based on the past releases this year.
What's resale looking like? Because I already know ima take an L 😂
I hit on the Shock!! I couldn’t believe it. They’re amazing. Seriously! If you think they look good in pics, just wait til you get em in hand! The texturing on the scales is insane! All the little shapes and sizes of them too. Just wow. These are ridiculous!
need just to hoop but don't wanna buy $700 hooping shoes smh
Yo Simpson I love your content but that music fuckin gotta go man
I was all in for the 10 and Buckets caught me off guard. He’s right! Man of knowledge.
This is the reverse grinch. I think the gradient starts from the sole and works up instead of top to bottom. And right along the eyelets has a darker red
Extremely overrated shoe IJS🤷🏾♂️
10/10 love Red Sneakers especially this one hopefully I get a pair
I hate when tittle say Don’t buy without watching this video !
Man I love Buckets 😂
6:53, good💯🎯💪🤷
I like these ones way better than the other ones
I wear size 11 is that comfortable size in these Kobe 6
Sneaker of the Year. Color,story, history, Kobe.
i think kobe shoes other than blCk white and bruce one is shit
The background score for this video is fire ❤
fr, that background music is ELITE. feels like im in a ballislife/home team hoops mixtape. I need to know what that song is
@@avidreader6534 think about it fallin by BeeDotKay
Great review. What’s the name of the song?
can someone send me this instrumental!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The box didn’t look like it had scales 🧐
Need that Tshirt, expeditiously
THAT MUSIC, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING
What size are those Cubans tho?! 😮
I need a pair to hoop and a pair to style
I plan on heading to the Employee Store and trying to grab me a pair in my size. Suppose to have like 100 of size 12. But I don't get off till 4 and its a 2 hour drive to Beaverton.
Damn I hit on the DMP 11 and these this morning. Can’t wait to get em. Might not ever sell tbh. RIP BEAN !!!
That EA was CAP! I’ve missed every Kobe Drop and never got the EA
Reverse grinch is better
No MOTORBOAT AGAIN 😖😖😖.
if u wear it outside, ihy
BUCKETS GAVE A 10/10!?!? That says a LOT 💯 Buckets rarely gives 10s. Yall my fav sneakerheads and value yall opinion. Real OGs. Peace
10/10!!
Grinches 10/10!!
But grinches OG are better 😂 blessed to have both! 🙏
10/10 great shoes!
X2 10/10 Can't say I've ever heard y'all both give these out👏🏽 Dope sneaker but I'm a boring fart and would lace swap them with black ❤🖤💚
Hahaha throughout this vid all I was thinking about the exact point on the rating scale and how this can't be a 10 along with the OG Grinch and then Buckets said the same !
Took a W on these🔥🔥
Can’t wait to pick up my pair tommrow at Nike soho great video

With all due respect you say don't buy them I just hit a w on size 12 and 1/2 should I flip or keep?
copped my size this past Tues on EA!!!...just opened em up right now!!!...helllllllll yeaaaaaaaa!!!
This time around you guys just gave the video the most illogical title...still, your content is great, as always.
It's better than the 11'$ gratitude? Now you capping! lol
Reverse Grinches are definitely a 10, since the OGs are better they're a 10+. Lemme get that busted pair of OGs
Mr Simpson is correct, they can still be a 10 out of 10 even if not quite as good as the Grinches. Buckets should have been spear tackeled 😆
Not worth the hype
Great Vid as usual👌🏼 10/10 for the reverse. Can't wait for the Kobe 4 Protro Black Mamba/Gift of mamba, whatever they're called
