Nike Kobe 8 Protro - Black - UK 6.5

Protro combines 'performance' and 'retro.' It means a classic Kobe sneaker design is brought back with updated, cutting-edge Nike performance technology and advanced cushioning for modern play.

While durable, the Kobe 8 Protro is primarily designed for indoor court performance. Frequent outdoor use on rough surfaces may lead to faster wear on the outsole and knit upper. Info needed: Manufacturer's specific recommendation for outdoor durability.

Always purchase from authorized Nike retailers or trusted resellers. Check for quality of stitching, materials, and specific details like the Kobe Bryant signature and Nike swoosh embroidery.

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for the engineered knit and accents. For the outsole, a soft brush can help remove dirt. Air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Nike Kobe models generally run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary. If unsure, consult Nike's size guide or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

The Kobe 8 Protro features advanced cushioning technology designed for responsive feel and excellent impact protection, optimized for dynamic basketball movements.

The engineered knit may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations during light activities to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Ensure the outsole is clean. Dust and dirt can accumulate and reduce traction. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth before playing.

Try a double knot or an alternative lacing technique. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tight to cut off circulation.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
