FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'performance' and 'retro', indicating that these are modern remakes of classic Nike shoes, updated with current performance technology.

Are these good for playing basketball?

Yes, the Kobe 6 Protro is designed with performance in mind, offering support and responsiveness suitable for basketball play.

How does the 'Reverse Grinch' colorway differ from the original Grinch?

The 'Reverse Grinch' flips the primary colors of the original Grinch. Instead of a green base with red accents, it features a Bright Crimson (red) base with Electric Green accents.

What is the upper material made of?

The upper is primarily made of leather with a snakeskin texture, designed to be both stylish and durable.

How should I clean the snakeskin texture?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the textured areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

What is the significance of the Electric Green accents?

The Electric Green accents, along with the Bright Crimson upper, create the 'Reverse Grinch' color scheme, offering a vibrant and distinctive look.

Is this shoe limited edition?

Protro releases are often produced in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Tighten or loosen the laces across different eyelets to find a more secure or comfortable fit.

Slight creasing on the leather upper

This is normal for leather shoes with wear. Use a shoe tree to help maintain shape and minimize creasing when not in use.

Color transfer from shoe to socks

This can occasionally happen with brightly colored footwear. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing and consider wearing darker socks until color transfer is no longer an issue.
