i'm sure you guys already know why we got the green background man we
just got the grinch's in the mail i hit on sneakers app and i am so so happy so
let's go ahead and crack this box open and see what these things are talking about
oh and here you have it the kobe 6 proto grinch
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you being if you did not

before we get started with unboxing this pair right here i have two different samples i would
like to reference in this video as well because you guys saw my previous video when i got these
about a month ago so i want to show you a couple differences between the first trial run of the
sample and then the second full size run sample and then the actual product that came to the
public so let's go ahead and get into it starting with the box you have your all over kind of matte
black print box with the kobe logo here and a metallic emblem right here on the top you got
a flip up lid and then on the size tag it reads kobe 6 pro troll green apple black volt crimson
size 13 just for me retail 180 bucks opening up the box you have a white paper and then you got
the shoe oh you got the shoe first impressions of this sneaker wow i love it i know i got the
other pairs already but i'm just so happy to have these in my collection you guys already know like
i said before in the previous videos used to have them back in the day got rid of my pair because
they got messed up finally able to get them again and i'm able to double up triple up now
and this time i'm never letting these things go so let's start looking at some details of the sneaker
talk about it a little bit give you guys my opinion see what the people say show some results
all those other things like we typically do let's go ahead and break these things down starting with
the outsole you have a darker green on the back a lighter translucent green on the front a carbon
fiber plate here around the center of the foot and a red kobe logo here at the back working our
way up to the midsole you have that translucent vibe wrapping around right here from the outsole
you got a green the tone is pretty much the same i will show you a difference between the sample
as well because they did do two different greens on that and then on the back right here where it
says nike zoom that's more of a lime kind of volt type green i know these are considered the apple
greens and not the grinches or whatever but they look like the same as the og's to me so i ain't
even really tripping like obviously yeah we know it's a retro so it's gonna be a couple little
different tweaks and all those different things but at the end of the day you get the gist i think
they did a good job so going up to the upper i think this is one of a lot of people's favorite
parts of the sneaker you kind of got these little rubber pellets all over the sneaker right here
and it's just a dope little touch a dope detail touch you see it from far away and you can't
really tell what it is as you get closer and you hold the shoe and everything i think it's a very
very nice addition to the sneaker and i always love this hit on the shoe now if this was all
red it would look like a strawberry but that's a whole other topic looking at the swoosh right here
you have a black with a metallic kind of speckled swoosh on it and that hit is both on the outside
and on the inside of the foot a lot of people have the question do these come with red laces and yes
they do come with red laces i had got the sample pair so they didn't have the extra red laces to
them they were really focused on the configuration of the sneaker and the coloring and the materials
and all those different things so that played a bigger factor than adding a pair of red laces
so that answers a lot of people's questions do these come with red laces i know a lot of people
like the red laces in them and me personally i do like the red laces in them a little bit more
remember kobe rocking them with the red laces as well and when i used to wear my pair from back in
the day i used to wear them with the red laces as well looking at the back of the foot you got your
plastic cap right here with the kobe signature in red you got your green kind of patent leather vibe
right here and a lot of people had those questions when it came to the first sample this one's a lot
more metallicky and then here on the front of the foot as you can see it's a darker green trim right
here around the front end and then a lighter green down the center of the foot they actually ended up
changing the material and the coloring from the first sample to the second sample and they end up
reconfiguring the shoe completely when it came to the size run sample that they had done here
the one that i showed you as well in the previous video so when i had got this extended size trial
sample right here from nike they told me this would be more resemblance to the pair that's
coming out to the public so let's put these side by side and see if there are any major differences
but i think these are probably very very similar just based on looking at them with the colors
and the materials and everything like that they might be a little bit darker but overall this
looks very similar to the pair that came out to the public so this sample over here is a size
12 and this is a size 13 so there's going to be a slight size difference but let's just look at
the materials and then the pair that released to the public right here does still have the stuffing
inside of it as well so that makes a little bit more full around the laces but besides all that
when i look at these two sneakers right here and i'm looking at the material and the placements
and the colors and everything it looks very very similar definitely really really similar so to be
able to get this pair in my hands very early and give you guys a look i was so happy about that
but again these were a size 12 i knew i could make it work but i really needed a 13 so when
i hit on sneakers app and got a size 13 bruh so so happy i don't think i'm gonna get rid of
any of these because just the story behind it and how i got them and all the different things like
it was just such a dope experience seeing like all the big blogs reposted it and so many different
people reposting it on instagram was insane so for me i'm keeping all of them just because i got a
size 9 sample i got a size 12 sample and then i got a size 13 for the gr pair that came out
and i'm happy like i got a pair to rock i got some pair to tell story with so at the end of the day
i got no complaints bro i am very very happy very very fortunate very very thankful and i appreciate
man i appreciate y'all because y'all know who y'all is man i appreciate you bro so i took the
polls to instagram like i always do and i asked the people is this shoe either fire or is it shoe
trash right and you know i do that all the time so if you haven't already make sure you follow
me on ig so you can participate in the polls and the results are always posted here in the videos
and this is what the people said 92 percent chose fire and eight percent chose trash and honestly i
feel like the people that chose trash either was salty or mad that they didn't get a pair
or potentially they just think the shoe is actually trash and they don't like it but
i think a high percentage of that eight percent of people were just mad about the sneaker and not
being able to get in all those different things and i understand a lot of people wanted to get
this shoe and even after the release we saw a post from kobe's wife saying hey we're trying
to get more parents to people we're trying to do some cool stuff so maybe we can keep our fingers
crossed and i hope that if they do something cool and you know do another drop or whatever it may be
sometime in 2021 i will give you guys an update for the people that weren't able to get them
because i know a lot of people want to get their hands on these especially at retail retail was 180
bucks people aren't trying to spend 400 500 bucks right now but at the end of the day if you got to
spend that price i've definitely heard a lot of people say you know what oh well i'm buying
them because i really want them and i completely understand and i have a high feeling that down
the line the shoe is going to go up in value so the people that really wanted them and they do
get them now even they paid the resale value now i think they are going to be happy because the
shoe is going to be you know a thousand or 1500 bucks look at the old pair i've seen it selling
for two thousand dollars before 1500 bucks so i don't see why this pair wouldn't do the same thing
over time so if you do want to get them and you want to you know just get them now if you could
try to get them for around 400 bucks me personally i think that's a good deal simply because if you
plan on keeping them forever they're going to be worth way more and if you have to buy them later
you're going to have to spend more money so that's just how i'm looking at it i wish nike dropped a
bunch of pairs of these but unfortunately you know how it goes even if they dropped a bunch of pairs
there's going to be people out there buying a bunch of pairs simply to hold them to resell them
to other people you know how the whole game goes i don't need to explain it but that's the whole gist
of this let me know what you guys think down below i was just excited to open these up and share this
experience with you guys from getting a sample pair to show you guys the difference and then
now make a new video now so i appreciate you guys as always did you cop them on sneakers app did you
