FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean in this context?

'Protro' stands for Performance Retro. It signifies a modern reimagining of a classic Nike shoe, updated with contemporary performance technology while retaining its original aesthetic.

What is the significance of 'Mamba Day'?

'Mamba Day' refers to April 13, 2016, the date of Kobe Bryant's final NBA game, where he scored 60 points. This shoe commemorates that legendary performance and Bryant's enduring legacy.

What is the primary material used in the Nike Kobe 11 Protro?

The shoe prominently features Nike's Flyknit material, known for its lightweight, flexible, and breathable properties, offering a snug, sock-like fit.

Is this shoe suitable for professional basketball games?

While designed with performance in mind and based on a basketball shoe, the 'Protro' line often appeals to collectors and may be considered more of a tribute or lifestyle shoe than a primary performance shoe for current professional play. Its suitability depends on individual player preference for fit, support, and traction.

How should I clean the multi-color graphic elements?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the graphic areas. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh cleaning agents, as this could damage the print or the underlying material.

What is the retail price of the Nike Kobe 11 Protro Mamba Day?

The Nike Kobe 11 Protro Mamba Day originally retailed for $220.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

The Flyknit material is designed to stretch slightly with wear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Color bleeding or fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and ensure they are fully air-dried.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For added traction on specific surfaces, consider the intended use of the shoe; these are designed for performance courts but may vary in grip on different terrains.
