FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' stands for 'performance retro,' indicating that the shoe is a modern update of a classic design, featuring enhanced performance technology.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from a muted teal (bicoastal) suede with rolled edges.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

While designed with performance in mind and featuring advanced technology, their low-cut nature may appeal more to players prioritizing mobility over maximum ankle support. They are excellent for training and many game situations.

How do I clean the chrome heel counter?

The chrome heel counter can typically be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.

What is the significance of the 'Girl Dad' inscription?

The inscription pays homage to Kobe Bryant's deep love and pride for his daughters, highlighting a personal and meaningful aspect of his life beyond basketball.

Is the sizing true to Nike's standard?

Generally, Kobe Protro models fit true to size, similar to other Nike basketball trainers. However, personal preference for fit (snug vs. roomier) can vary. It's recommended to check available sizing information or try them on if possible.

Where can I find other available sizes?

Other sizes may be available through various retailers or secondary marketplaces. Check product listings and authorized Nike dealers for availability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Fit feels too snug or loose

Ensure laces are tied correctly. If consistently uncomfortable, consider using aftermarket insoles or thicker/thinner socks. For persistent issues, consult sizing charts for future purchases.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The outsole grip may vary depending on the court surface. For indoor courts, ensure the soles are clean. For outdoor use, be aware that wear and tear can affect grip.
