FAQs

What makes this a 'Protro' model?

Protro stands for 'Performance Retro'. It means Nike has taken a classic retro design, like the Air Force 1, and updated it with modern performance technology for enhanced comfort and wearability.

How do the ReactX foam and Nike Air cushioning work together?

The ReactX foam provides a soft, plush feel underfoot, while the Nike Air unit offers responsive cushioning and impact absorption. Together, they create a supremely comfortable experience.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, focusing on comfort. While they offer good support for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-intensity athletic performance like running or basketball.

How should I clean the 'Linen' colored leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What is the significance of the University Blue and Gold accents?

The University Blue accents honor the Lakers' original Minnesota roots, while the Metallic Gold portrait graphic symbolizes Kobe Bryant's relentless drive, reflecting the shoe's inspiration.

Do these run true to size?

Nike Air Force 1 models can vary. It is generally recommended to consult Nike's official size guide and consider trying them on if possible. Reviews often suggest they fit true to size for most, but some prefer to size up or down slightly.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium leather, featuring a 'Linen' hue.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new foam midsoles. Try flexing the shoe gently or wearing them for a short period to break them in. Ensure no debris is trapped within the sole.

Color transfer from blue accents to lighter clothing

While unlikely with proper care, if color transfer occurs, gently clean the affected area of the shoe and the clothing immediately with appropriate fabric cleaners. Allow shoes to dry completely before wearing.

Reduced cushioning over time

The ReactX foam and Nike Air cushioning are designed for durability, but performance may slightly decrease with extensive wear. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive exposure to extreme conditions.

Difficulty finding the right size

Refer to the size chart and consider that Nike trainers can sometimes run slightly small or large depending on the model. Check customer reviews for fitment advice if available.

Care Instructions:

  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the foam and rubber components. Ensure all soap residue is removed.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and maintain shape.
