Jared Ebanks In just a few short weeks the USA Men’s National Team will compete for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. Preparing the star-studded lineup is a group of 12 up-and-coming players from throughout the NBA, including New York Knicks third-year guard Quentin Grimes who recently shared a look at his Player Exclusive Nike Kobe 6 Protros for the upcoming training camp.
The Houston native has been a loyal Bryant supporter since entering the League in 2021, dawning the Kobe 5 and 6 exclusively. In images shared to his Instagram Story, Grimes further cemented his fervor for Bean’s signature lineup with a duo of Zoom-cushioned 6’s draped in either white or navy dominant uppers. The bright white pair relies on a heavy use of the dark blue tint, curing the profile swooshes, collar lining and marbled tread underfoot. In contrast, the navy-dominant pair does the same, except with “University Red” accents as the upper tongue and laces remain cured in the crimson hue on both offerings.
These colorways are expected to serve as a Player Exclusive and unfortunately won’t see an expanded release. In the meantime, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Team USA” PEs can be seen below.
For more news from the Bryant estate, the Kobe 8 Protro “Venice Beach” is set to return for Summer 2024.
