FAQs

What does the 'Year of the Mamba' theme represent?

The theme celebrates the Chinese Zodiac's Year of the Snake and pays homage to Kobe Bryant's iconic 'Black Mamba' persona, incorporating snake graphics and textures into the design.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

While inspired by a performance line, these are a grade school (GS) edition with a special design. They offer good performance for youth play, but professional athletes may opt for adult performance-specific models.

What is the main color of the shoe?

The primary color is University Red, accented with Black and Metallic Gold.

How do I clean the snakeskin-textured collar?

Gently wipe the textured area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to preserve the material's detail and texture.

What year was this specific model released?

This special edition was launched in China on January 18, 2025.

Can adults wear these shoes?

These are designed in grade school sizing. Adults may be able to wear them if their foot size corresponds to the available UK children's sizes.

What is the material of the Swoosh and accents?

The Swoosh is black, and the accents on the toe box and tongue logo are metallic gold.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected based on foot measurements.

Traction is reduced on smooth surfaces.

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be hindering grip.

Color transfer from the shoe to socks.

This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored footwear. It is often reduced after the first few wears and washes of socks. Ensure socks are dark or colored appropriately.
