For those interested in owning their first pair of Mamba sneakers or want to expand their collection of Kobe’s, we compiled a list of some of the best Kobe Bryant shoes on StockX.
Nike Kobe 5 Protro Bruce Lee
Kobe Bryant is known for being a fan of Bruce Lee and his zen-like mentality and style. The Nike Kobe 5 Bruce Lee was released to highlight his admiration for the Jeet Kune Do master. This retro of the 2010 colorway came back in 2020 and is another highly sought-after pair of sneakers within the Kobe Bryant shoes catalog.
Nike Kobe 6 Protro Grinch (2020)
Back in 2010, Nike released the famous Grinch colorway of the Kobe 6. This specific colorway is considered a coveted colorway from Kobe’s sneaker legacy. In 2020, Nike retroed the Grinch 6 for its 10th anniversary, giving fans a second chance at securing the sneaker.
Nike 6 Protro Reverse Grinch
Nike flipped the script on the fabled Kobe 6 Grinch colorway in 2023 by introducing the Nike Kobe 6 Reverse Grinch. The sneaker pulls red accents found on the original Grinch colorway and makes it the more prominent shade on the reversed sneaker.
