FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball?

While the cushioning is excellent, the outsole is designed primarily for indoor court use; outdoor play will significantly accelerate wear on the rubber tread.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

The Kobe 6 Protro runs true to a performance fit, which is snug; if you prefer more room for your toes, consider sizing up by a half-size.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, styled with a 3D-molded snakeskin-inspired texture.

Where is Gigi's number located on the shoe?

Gigi Bryant's jersey number '2' is stamped on the lateral side of the ankle.

How should I store these sneakers to preserve them?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying and color fading.

Troubleshooting

Feeling too tight around the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with less tension across the mid-eyelets to allow for better expansion.

Loss of traction on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or a dedicated court traction pad to remove debris build-up from the rubber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from the Zoom midsole
  • Durable leather construction for long-term wear
  • Highly secure lockdown fit for competitive play
  • Unique design elements that pay tribute to a meaningful cause
  • Lightweight construction despite the premium material choice

Cons

  • Limited availability due to the commemorative nature
  • Textured upper can be more difficult to clean than smooth leather
  • High demand makes finding specific UK sizing challenging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, confirm your UK size before use, as the Protro model offers a very snug performance fit; many players prefer a half-size up if they wear thick performance socks. To maintain the leather and the intricate textured upper, wipe the shoes down with a dry, soft cloth after every session to remove dust. If deeper cleaning is required, use a mild soap and water solution on a soft-bristled brush, being careful not to soak the leather. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, to prevent the material from warping or cracking. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
