What are the main color elements of this sneaker?

Does this sneaker feature the same technology as modern basketball shoes?

Yes, the Protro updates the iconic Kobe 4 model with advanced technology, ensuring modern players experience enhanced comfort and support, building upon the original design's performance features.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth, working in circular motions, and allow to air dry.

Fit feels too snug or loose

Adjust the lacing system to find a more secure and comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists across different lacing techniques, consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Traction feels reduced on court

Clean the outsole rubber with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the court surface is also clean.
