FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
While they can be used outdoors, the Kobe 3 series is optimized for indoor court performance. Extended outdoor use on abrasive surfaces will wear down the traction pattern much faster.
How do I clean the white material?
Use a soft-bristled brush, mild detergent, and water to gently scrub the surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Generally, yes, but because they are performance-oriented, they have a snug, locked-in fit. If you prefer a looser feel, you may consider a half-size larger, though many athletes prefer the secure fit for performance.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Replacement frequency depends on intensity and frequency of play. Once the midsole cushioning feels compressed and no longer provides energy return, or the outsole pattern has worn smooth, it is time for a new pair.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid keeping them in damp areas, as moisture can degrade the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first wear
Performance basketball shoes often have a break-in period. Wear them for light activity for 2-3 sessions to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Loss of traction on the court
Dust and debris build-up on the outsole can reduce grip. Wipe the soles with a clean, damp cloth or a dedicated court-cleaning pad before and during play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, lace the shoes snugly to engage the lockdown system, ensuring they feel secure without restricting circulation. These trainers are primarily designed for use on smooth indoor courts; avoid using them on abrasive outdoor concrete, as this will significantly accelerate outsole wear. For care, wipe the white upper with a damp cloth and mild soap after use to maintain the appearance. Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can damage the synthetic materials and adhesive bonds.
