FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the 'Pink Quartz' colorway?

The 'Pink Quartz' colorway is inspired by the soft pink glow of the lights surrounding The Forum in Los Angeles, a tribute to the early years of Kobe Bryant's career.

What type of cushioning does this shoe feature?

The shoe features an Air Zoom Strobel unit paired with Cushlon 3.0 foam for lightweight, responsive cushioning.

Is this shoe suitable for outdoor play?

While the shoe can be worn outdoors, it is primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outsole.

How do I clean my Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro shoes?

Clean the shoes using a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What does MPN IF2497-500 signify?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. IF2497-500 is the unique identifier for this specific Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro variant.

Does the low-top design affect ankle support?

The low-top design prioritizes ankle mobility and a natural feel. Players who require significant ankle support may need to consider supplemental bracing.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight upon first wear.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will naturally mold to your foot.

Cushioning feels too firm.

The cushioning is designed for responsiveness and court feel. Over time with use, the foam may soften slightly. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for added comfort.

Traction seems inconsistent on certain courts.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Minor dirt can affect grip. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth if they appear dirty. Performance may vary based on court conditions.

Color transfer from pink upper.

While efforts are made to ensure colorfastness, avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet, as some color transfer may occur initially.
