FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the Kobe 5 Protro fits true to size, though they have a snug, performance-oriented fit. If you prefer more room, you may consider going up a half size.
Can I wear these for running?
These are primarily designed for basketball and court sports. While comfortable, they may not offer the necessary heel-to-toe transition required for long-distance running.
What is the inspiration behind this colorway?
This specific version features colors inspired by the Indiana Fever, showcasing a vibrant blue and red palette.
How do I maintain the color vibrancy?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV-related fading of the blue and red pigments.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively streamlined. Individuals with wide feet might find the fit quite tight and may need to loosen the laces significantly or consider an alternative fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness out of the box
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot shape.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole
Wipe the soles with a damp cloth or a dedicated court grip pad to restore traction during play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, wear them primarily on intended surfaces such as hardwood courts or gym floors to preserve the integrity of the outsole. If you notice a loss in comfort, consider swapping the standard factory insole for a performance-grade replacement. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to remove surface dirt, ensuring you avoid abrasive chemicals that could damage the synthetic upper materials. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
