It's jingle bells all the way this time of the year, and Nike has gifted fans the Vapor Edge Kobe 6. SNKRS by Nike has officially announced the launch of their new Vapor Edge Kobe 6 'Mismatch' on December 23.

It all started with Christmas 2010, when Kobe released lime green cleats with reptile-like texture. After 13 years, in 2023, Nike worked on the design and reintroduced these in Green Apple and Bright Crimson colorways.

This Christmas, one can get the cleats pair with a colorway called Mismatch. The Vapor Edge Kobe 6 'Mismatch' releases on December 26. To be available on Nike's website, the shoes retail at $230.

The new Vapor Edge Kobe 6 'Mismatch' comes in bright crimson and green apple colorways, which matches the spirit of Christmas. Both colors are traditional holiday hues and usher festive vibes.

The red in Christmas is a symbol of warmth and festive spirit, and the green represents new life and renewal. The pair is rightly named Mismatch, because both cleats are of different colors and complement each other.

The green shoe is from the Kobe 6 Protro Grinch collection. The crimson one is the Kobe 6 Protro Reverse, available on the Nike website. Vapor Edge Kobe 6 Mismatch has one of each.

The cleats don't have much height, which helps players move fast. These shoes are lightweight, so the feet don't feel heavy even after hours of playing, and are strong enough, which makes them durable. There's also a Vapor Edge 360 plate for better grip and flexibility.

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant's signature is on the side of the shoes along with the Nike logo, while Kobe's logo is on the tongue. The outsole says, "I want a shoe that" on one shoe and "molds to my foot" on the other.


The Vapor Edge Kobe 6 'Mismatch' launches on December 26 for Christmas 2024. The cleats will sell for $230 and can be purchased on the Nike website.
