FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean in this shoe's name?

'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'performance' and 'retro'. It signifies a modern reimagining of a classic silhouette, combining vintage aesthetics with updated performance and comfort technology.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While the Air Force 1 was originally a basketball shoe, this 'Protro' model with its specific lenticular design is best suited for lifestyle wear. For serious basketball performance, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.

How durable is the lenticular material?

The lenticular material is designed to be durable for normal wear. However, it can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, and deep scratches. Treat it with care to maintain its visual integrity.

What is the primary color of the shoe?

The primary color family of this shoe is blue.

Does this shoe come in other sizes?

Yes, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro Kobe Bryant Lenticular is available in various adult male sizes. Please check available listings for specific size options.

How should I clean the lenticular panels?

Gently wipe the lenticular panels with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it's not wet, and avoid any abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.

Troubleshooting

Lenticular effect not changing clearly

Ensure the shoe is being viewed from different angles under adequate lighting. Avoid smudging the lenticular surface; clean gently with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather shoes. To minimize, ensure proper fit, use a shoe tree when not in use, and avoid over-tightening laces.

Discomfort or poor fit

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with the type of socks you typically use. Break-in period might be needed for initial wear.

Color bleeding or fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Clean only with recommended methods; avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear athletic shoes. No setup is required beyond ensuring proper fit.

Compatibility:

Designed for general adult use. While built on a performance retro model, they are best suited for lifestyle wear rather than intense athletic training.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials, especially the lenticular components.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a shoe tree or stuff with paper to maintain shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags or airtight containers, which can trap moisture.
  • Lenticular Panel Care: Be mindful of the lenticular panels. Avoid excessive bending, scratching, or exposure to extreme temperatures, which can affect the visual effect or damage the material.
