FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Protro designation?
The 'Protro' designation signifies a retro model updated with modern technology for enhanced performance and comfort, while retaining its original design aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Kobe 9 EM Low Protro generally has a standard fit. While some users find them adaptable, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to consider trying them on first or looking for models known for a wider toe box.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes slightly. Ensure there is no excessive heel slippage when walking.
Can these shoes be used for outdoor basketball courts?
While designed for indoor performance, the durable outsole can withstand some outdoor use. However, frequent play on rough outdoor surfaces may accelerate outsole wear.
What is the difference between the EM and Elite versions?
The EM (Engineered Mesh) version typically uses a lighter, more breathable mesh upper, while the Elite version often incorporates more advanced materials like Flyknit for a more premium feel and support.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Nike typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Nike website or your retailer for specific warranty details and duration.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If persistent, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth or a dedicated shoe cleaner to remove accumulated dust and debris, restoring grip.
Minor scuffs or marks on the upper
Use a soft, damp cloth with a very mild soap solution to gently clean the affected area. Test on an inconspicuous spot first.
