Christmas has a lot of funny lore. Even getting beyond the flying sleigh and reindeer, the speed to circle the globe in one night, and the whole chimney thing, there’s no way he’s doing that whole night with gallons of whole milk and thousands of cookies in his belly. Oh yeah, he also punishes mean kids with stockings full of coal. Kinda messed up, Santa.

Stockings Full of Coal

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Coals was the first pair from the mean Santa pack to pop up on our radar, with leaked previews first showing up in June. In the months since, we’ve seen new images of the black coal Kobe 6 Protro colorway, along with soot-smudged pairs of the Book 2, Sabrina 4, and LeBron 24, plus Naughty List pairs of the Kobe AD Protro and the Air Jordan 3 Retro.
