FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the EM (Engineered Mesh) upper?

The Engineered Mesh upper provides excellent breathability and a lightweight feel, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during activity.

Are these shoes suitable for players who need ankle support?

These are low-top shoes, which prioritize ankle mobility. Players requiring significant ankle support might consider high-top models.

How do I clean the Light Silver Steam colorway to prevent discoloration?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat.

What does 'Protro' signify in the shoe's name?

'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'performance' and 'retro,' indicating that this is a modern performance version of a classic Kobe shoe.

Can these shoes be used for casual wear?

Yes, the stylish design and comfortable construction make them suitable for casual wear, although they are optimized for athletic performance.

What is the recommended way to break in these shoes?

It is recommended to wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration as the shoe conforms to your foot.

Troubleshooting

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Wear with thinner athletic socks initially. The shoe may stretch slightly with wear.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup. Regularly clean the outsole to maintain grip.
