FAQs

What inspired the 'Pink Quartz' colorway?

The colorway is inspired by the soft pink glow of the lights surrounding The Forum in Los Angeles, nodding to the early years of Kobe Bryant's career.

What type of cushioning does this shoe offer?

It features an Air Zoom Strobel unit paired with Cushlon 3.0 foam for lightweight, responsive, and comfortable cushioning.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. It's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts if you have wider feet, as the midfoot can be snug.

Can I wear these for everyday activities?

Yes, while designed for performance, the style and comfort also make them suitable for casual, everyday wear.

How do I clean the quilted mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently wipe the surface and allow it to air dry.

What is the main benefit of the Air Zoom Strobel unit?

The Air Zoom Strobel unit provides a low-profile, responsive feel directly underfoot, enhancing court feel and energy return.

Does the low-top design affect ankle support?

As a low-top, it prioritizes mobility and flexibility. Players who require significant ankle support might consider ankle braces or higher-cut shoes.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system to find a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

The cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few short sessions to allow the foam and Air Zoom unit to conform to your foot.

Soles appear dirty after use

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently.
