Nike Kobe 3 Protro EP 'Halo' - Trainers - UK 8.5

'Protro' stands for 'Performance Retro', indicating that the shoe combines the classic aesthetic of a past model with updated performance technology for modern athletes.

The Nike Kobe 3 Protro EP generally runs true to size but can have a narrower fit. Players with significantly wide feet may find them snug and should consider trying them on before purchasing or looking for models known for a wider toe box.

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently. Always rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

The 'Halo' colorway offers a clean, minimalist aesthetic that is visually striking and versatile, making it suitable for both performance on court and casual wear.

These shoes are designed for indoor courts. While they may be worn outdoors for very limited periods, the outsole is not built for the abrasiveness of outdoor surfaces and will wear down much faster.

On indoor courts, the traction should remain effective for a significant period, depending on playing frequency and intensity. Regular cleaning will help maintain optimal grip.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Wipe down the outsole with a damp cloth if necessary.

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, focusing on distributing pressure evenly. If the issue persists, consider if this model's fit is suitable for your foot width.

The cushioning is designed for court responsiveness. With continued use, it may break in slightly. For a softer feel, consider socks with added padding.
