FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' stands for Performance Retro. It signifies that the shoe is a modern update to a classic design, incorporating contemporary technology for enhanced comfort, support, and performance.

Is this shoe good for playing basketball?

Yes, the Kobe 6 Protro is designed with basketball performance in mind, featuring responsive cushioning, good traction, and a secure fit.

How does the 'Reverse Grinch' colorway differ from the original?

The 'Reverse Grinch' flips the color placement of the original Grinch. Instead of green being dominant, the 'Bright Crimson' is the primary color, with green used for accents, offering a reversed visual effect.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features a snakeskin-textured material, primarily in 'Bright Crimson', contributing to its distinctive look and paying homage to Kobe Bryant's 'Black Mamba' persona.

What is the recommended way to clean the snakeskin texture?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the texture.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro generally has a standard fit. While it may accommodate slightly wider feet due to its design, individuals with significantly wide feet might find it snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

What is the significance of the 'Electric Green' accents?

The 'Electric Green' accents, including the laces, provide a vibrant contrast to the 'Bright Crimson' upper, enhancing the shoe's visual impact and completing the 'Reverse Grinch' aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear.

Color transfer onto socks

This can occur with new, brightly colored footwear. Wear darker socks initially. The color intensity should reduce after initial wears. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing.

Snakeskin texture appears damaged

Avoid abrasive surfaces and excessive friction. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner might help restore appearance, but exercise caution.

Sole feels stiff

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Natural foot movement will help break in the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear athletic shoes. Ensure you select the correct size (this guide is for UK size 6.5) for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wearers. Compatible with standard athletic socks. Suitable for basketball courts, gym environments, and casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For regular cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher marks on the leather and snakeskin texture, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Consider storing in the original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and prevent color transfer, especially given the vibrant colors.
