Folks that watched LSU’s women’s basketball team beat Miami on Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina in the Elite Eight might’ve noticed this greenish glow coming from the feet of the victorious Tigers.
All-American forward Angel Reese and most of her teammates weren’t wearing purple or gold kicks to match LSU’s uniform. Instead, they were wearing the iconic Kobe 6 Grinches. The shoes were launched on Christmas Day 2010 in a colorway that resembled green apple, but they also feature green scales and a black Nike swoosh, akin to the green mamba snakes that have deep and dark black eyes. The late, great Kobe Bryant’s nickname was, of course, the Black Mamba.
