Kobe’s next sneaker, the Venomenon 6, surfaces in ‘Cool Grey’.
Shown here in a by-the-books color scheme that features a ‘Cool Grey’ upper alongside some black hits on the branding and heel pull tab, the Venomenon 6 doesn’t really offer anything new design-wise, but there is one thing that sticks out.
The Kobe logo that’s featured on the tongue looks like it has a number 6 — representing the sixth model in the Venomenon line — sitting on top of it.
Kobe’s logo has become such an iconic symbol for the current generation that any alterations to it really stick out. However, we can’t tell if this addition is good or bad.
This pair is available now overseas at atmos-Tokyo but an official U.S. release date has yet to be announced.
We’ll keep you updated on any information regarding a release but in the meantime let us know what you think about the Venomenon 6 in the comments section below or on social media with the #WearTesters.

I like the looks of these a lot more than past venomenon models…but I still prefer the mentality/instinct, kobe 11/A.D NXT from a performance standpoint (if these are anything like past models)
This looks like their original idea for the Kobe AD Elite (similar looking midsole and traction pattern, looks still have a heel and forefoot zoom unit), but then saw how trash the Kobe AD were performance wise and revenue wise and then decided to call them a venomenom (by the way I still don’t know how to pronounce these, not a good name for a shoe marketing wise imo).
I hope that when Nike makes the decision on what models to cut back on, as stated in their article, that they begin with the Kobe Bryant line. Get rid of it, it sucks, the entire line. Do not even leave a shoe lace lying around.
SMHLOL. The main Kobe line might be the greatest line performance wise, of all time.
Right, and that’s why their are Mamba 24 stores opening all across america, and then around the world.
