As far as 8 cw's: playoff purple gradient, milk snake, easter, what the, prelude, shanghai sparks, green glow, pit viper, and both elite cw's would be my favorites. Any one of those protro'd would be fine by me

Only results will tell, that or Nike has got to be very transparent on these new releases and actually change up the release method. And I don't mean the "exclusive access to those who missed" BS.Very skeptical on the relaunch of the Kobe brand. Nothing they release will be attainable when they launch, paving the way for resellers again. Hope I’m wrong but every time I see the reverse grinch colorway, I think “I would totally cop but probably won’t be able to at retail”
I always thought the Venice Beaches were a callback to this Kobe 6 that shall not be named…took these pics a decade ago.
where does time go?
the VB’s were definitely sought out for.
even before Kobe’s passing, these were fetching $400 a few years ago. glad I waited.
Jesus Christ I forgot what those were called...I always thought the Venice Beaches were a callback to this Kobe 6 that shall not be named…

The original nickname never mad sense in the first place, especially when comparing the colorway to the supposed inspiration. They’ve always been “Glass Blue” to me. If I still had a pair they definitely would’ve been worn.i haven’t pulled “that” shoe out in years.
They were suppose to be inspired by Kobe’s helicopter. Colors didn’t even match aircraft. Many of us never cared for that nickname back then and just went with “Glass Blue”. I’m sure I don’t need to explain why we definitely don’t and shouldn’t care for the original nickname.Is there a back story / insider joke as to why this particular Kobe 6 can't be named? I've always like the Venice Beaches and it is one of the few upcoming colorways I would definitely be interested in. I've never owned a pair of Kobe 8's btw.
So… retail reverse grinches definitely do have a gradient effect

I do remember that pic being posted back then. But I also remember it being a joke, as dudes looked to find why they were called “Helicopter”. Didn’t know that was ever confirmed. I don’t recall see anything posted on here or anywhere else, stating that was the actual inspiration. Make sense tho, looking at the colors.Actually, the reason why they were called helicopter was because (a few of us in here probably still remember) it was Diego’s Helicopter’s colors (from Dora the explorer). It was his daughter’s favorite show at the time.
Glass blue is just a color that Nike used in the past (even before those 6s came out).
I seen the fake maker post what he says is a retail pair. I don’t know if true or what lol. But they def are darker up top.
