FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' stands for 'performance retro,' indicating a modern update of a classic shoe, often with improved materials and comfort while retaining the original design.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

While inspired by performance heritage, the Kobe 9 EM Low Protro is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual athletic activities. For professional-level play, shoes with more advanced, specific performance features might be recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart available on their website. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the provided measurements for UK sizes.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

The materials are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to prevent damage and maintain comfort.

What is the primary material used in these shoes?

The 'EM' in the name often refers to Engineered Mesh, which is a lightweight and breathable material. However, specific material composition can vary, and leather may also be incorporated.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

It is best to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to break in. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consult a cobbler for professional advice.

Slight discoloration on white areas

Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Many athletic stores offer replacement laces.
