FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' stands for 'Performance Retro'. It signifies that the shoe combines the classic design of an original model with modern performance-enhancing technology.

How do I make the glow-in-the-dark features more visible?

Expose the shoes to a bright light source for at least 15-20 minutes. Sunlight or a UV blacklight works best for charging the glow-in-the-dark materials.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The Kobe 5 Protro generally features a more streamlined, performance-oriented fit. Individuals with wider feet may find them snug and might benefit from trying a half-size up or considering alternative models.

What inspired the 'X-Ray' design?

The design is inspired by an iconic X-ray t-shirt worn by Kobe Bryant, which featured his hand adorned with five championship rings. This specific version reimagines that concept with an X-ray of a foot.

What is the primary intended use for these trainers?

While they offer excellent on-court performance for basketball players, their unique design also makes them a highly desirable option for casual wear and sneaker enthusiasts.

What colors are included in the 'X-Ray' colorway?

The colorway features deep royal blue, baltic blue, and glacier blue, with the X-ray graphics and glow-in-the-dark elements adding further visual interest.

What is the retail price of the Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro 'X-Ray'?

This special edition released on October 17, 2024, with a retail price of $190.

Troubleshooting

Glow-in-the-dark feature not working effectively.

Ensure the shoe has been exposed to direct light (sunlight or UV light) for a sufficient period to 'charge' the glow-in-the-dark elements. Recharging may be necessary after prolonged periods in darkness.

Fit feels too snug or too loose.

Adjust the lacing to your preference. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider trying a different size, as the Kobe 5 Protro line is known for its precise fit.

Sole appears to be separating after heavy use.

For minor separations, a specialized shoe adhesive can be used. For significant damage, consult a professional shoe repair service or consider replacement.
