The first matchup between the new-look Miami Heat and two-time defending NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers will be this year’s Christmas Day headliner. LeBron and Chris Bosh are each looking to secure a win en route to their first chip, while Kobe is seeking one for the other thumb this year, a sixth ring to tie Michael Jordan and further eclipse Shaq. And with King James likely rocking an all-red LeBron 8 V.2 on X-mas, the juxtaposition continues with this green-on-green Nike Zoom Kobe VI. The tonal colorup is perfectly executed on the ZK6’s scaly Black Mamba-inspired design, and given the timing, it’s hard to dismiss these as the ‘Grinch’ Kobe Six.
