Kobe Bryant’s ‘Grinch’ Sneakers Up for Auction for Millions
Miami – The legendary Nike Kobe 6 ‘Grinch’ sneakers, worn by Kobe Bryant in the 2010 Christmas game against LeBron James’ Miami Heat, have been put up for auction. The platform Joopiter, owned by artist Pharrell Williams, set a minimum price of 10 million dollars for the iconic piece. The footwear, in a striking green color and scaly design, was initially associated with Bryant’s nickname ‘Green Mamba’. However, its Christmas debut led to them being popularly known as ‘Grinch’, in reference to the character from children’s literature.The sneakers, which bear Bryant’s signature, were displayed this week along with other collectibles from the player in Beverly Hills, California, to attract potential buyers. In the only game Bryant wore these sneakers, he scored 17 points. The Lakers lost that game against the Heat, who had James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, with a final score of 80-96 at the Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena). This event underscores the value and continued demand for Kobe Bryant-related items.The minimum selling price is 10 million dollars.
