First launched in March 2011, the Nike Kobe 6 Supreme “Rice” pays tribute to Rice High School in Harlem—one of the elite schools sponsored by the late Kobe Bryant. This limited edition colorway was part of a special series recognizing standout basketball programs.

The sneaker’s design delivers a bold, reptilian aesthetic with a black and metallic moss-green upper crafted from a scaly polyurethane shell. Black nubuck touches the tongue and heel, adding texture to the silhouette. A bright Green Apple Swoosh pops against the dark tones, while a translucent green outsole enhances the bold contrast.

Signature details round out the look: Kobe’s Black Mamba snakehead is embossed at the heel, and “RICE” lettering appears proudly on the medial side—honoring the school’s basketball legacy. Inside, the insoles feature motivational text reflecting Kobe’s intense pursuit of performance.

Though the pair was released over a decade ago, sneaker fans can still find the Nike Kobe 6 Supreme “Rice” on resell platforms such as StockX and eBay. Prices vary by size and condition, but this pair remains a sought-after gem in Kobe’s sneaker legacy.
