Product Information
Full details
The Nike Zoom Kobe 4 Protro 'Gigi' is a commemorative trainer designed for basketball fans and sneaker collectors who appreciate performance-focused footwear with a meaningful tribute. It offers a sophisticated aesthetic and high-quality construction; however, its status as a collector's item and limited production design may make it less suitable for heavy, everyday outdoor court play compared to modern utility shoes.

FAQs
What does the 'Protro' name mean?
Protro is a blend of 'performance' and 'retro,' meaning the sneaker maintains the classic look of the original Kobe 4 but includes updated, modern performance technology.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Kobe 4 Protro tends to run narrow. It is often recommended to go up half a size if you have wider feet.
Does the box come with the shoes?
Yes, this edition comes in a specialized, premium snakeskin-textured box intended for collectors.
How do I care for the gold accents?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the gold tongue and heel detailing, as this may strip the metallic finish.
Can I use these for outdoor basketball?
While the traction is capable, outdoor courts can be abrasive and wear down the rubber outsole faster than indoor courts. We recommend indoor use to preserve the condition.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white upper
Gently clean with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild soap, then air dry away from heat.
Heel grid pattern seems to be scuffing
Be mindful of contact during fast breaks or tight pivoting; use a leather-safe cleaner to remove minor scuffs immediately.
Snug fit feels too tight
Loosen the lacing system near the toe box entirely before putting the shoe on to ensure the foot sits properly in the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, always ensure you are selecting the correct size, as the Zoom Kobe series typically features a snug, performance-oriented fit. If you plan on wearing these for basketball, ensure your socks provide adequate thickness to prevent rubbing. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent solution; avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the premium finish and the delicate grid patterns on the heel. When not in use, store your shoes in the original snakeskin-textured box or a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather degradation.
