FAQs

What age group is the Nike Kobe 5 X-Ray (GS) designed for?

The (GS) designation stands for Grade School, indicating these sneakers are designed for children in that age range.

How should I clean the unique X-ray artwork?

Clean the artwork gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing to preserve the print.

Are these shoes suitable for competitive basketball?

While inspired by Kobe Bryant, these Grade School models are primarily designed for everyday wear and casual play rather than high-level competitive basketball.

What does 'X-Ray' refer to in the product name?

'X-Ray' refers to the distinctive printed artwork on the shoe's upper, which visually mimics the appearance of bones seen in an X-ray image.

What is the primary color of the sneaker?

The primary color family is Blue, with specific shades including Deep Royal Blue, Baltic Blue, and Glacier Blue used throughout the upper and sole.

How does the lacing system help children?

The cross lacing system is designed to make it easier for children to put on and take off the shoes themselves, promoting independence.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the cross laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. If still uncomfortable, consider the next size up or down.

Dirt or scuff marks on the X-ray design

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, as this may lift or damage the printed artwork.

Difficulty putting shoes on

Ensure the cross laces are loosened sufficiently before attempting to slide the foot in. Practice the lacing and unlacing process with the child.
