Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe. Wear with thin performance socks for a less constrictive fit. If the issue persists across multiple wears, the size may not be suitable.

Color bleeding on socks

This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored footwear. Wash the inside of the shoe gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before wearing. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Traction seems insufficient

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. Court conditions can significantly impact traction. If the issue persists on clean courts, the shoe may be worn out or defective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care: To maintain the vibrant look and condition of your Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinch:

  2. Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a brush and water to remove court debris.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and sunlight.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
