FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

Protro stands for 'Performance Retro'. It signifies that the shoe is a modern reimagining of a classic design, updated with contemporary performance technology for improved comfort and function.

What is the significance of the 'Reverse Grinch' colorway?

It's a flip on the original 'Grinch' Kobe 6 colorway, featuring a predominantly Bright Crimson base instead of green, with Electric Green accents. It maintains the iconic look while offering a fresh take.

Are these shoes good for playing basketball?

Yes, the Protro enhancements include updated cushioning and support, making them suitable for playing basketball. They offer good traction and lockdown.

How do I clean the snakeskin texture?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the textured areas. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh cleaners, as this could damage the material.

What size should I order?

These shoes are listed in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to know your accurate UK shoe size for the best fit. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.

Is the snakeskin pattern real?

The snakeskin texture is a design element applied to the leather upper, mimicking the look of snakeskin rather than being made from actual reptile skin.

What is the material of the shoe?

The primary upper material is leather with a snakeskin texture. Accents and other components utilize various materials typical for athletic footwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot and ankle, and ensure you have the correct size. Wear with thinner socks if necessary.

Color transfer on socks

This can sometimes occur with vibrant dyes, especially when new or wet. Allow the shoes to air out completely. Consider wearing darker socks initially.

Reduced grip on court

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the shoe is significantly worn, the grip may be reduced.

Creasing on leather

Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees for storage and avoid excessive bending of the foot when walking.

Care:
