Kobe Bryant has left behind an incredible basketball legacy that not only includes some incredible accomplishments on the basketball court but some iconic sneakers as well. Over the past few years, Nike has been honoring Kobe with some Protro versions of his early Nike silhouettes, and now, it appears as though he will be receiving the same thing in the form of the Nike Zoom Kobe 6.

This particular model led to some great colorways and we will certainly see some of them retroed in the new year. According to SoleHeatOnFeet, one of the first colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro will be similar to his "All-Star" offering which was known for its red, white, and black aesthetic.

So far, The Kobe 1, 4, and 5 have all received their very own Protros so it would only make sense that the Kobe 6 is the next one to receive the same treatment. What would really be dope is if they were to retro the Kobe 6 "Grinch" which is notorious for being one of the best Nike basketball colorways of all time.

Let us know in the comments below how you feel about this silhouette and whether or not you would ever cop it.
