FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

Protro stands for 'Performance Retro'. It signifies that the shoe is a modern reimagining of a classic design, updated with contemporary performance technology for enhanced comfort and wearability.

Are these shoes good for playing basketball?

While they are inspired by a basketball legend and feature some performance elements, they are primarily a commemorative and stylish sneaker. For intense, professional basketball play, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended. They are suitable for casual play or light training.

What is the significance of the '81 Pt Game' in the name?

The '81 Pt Game' refers to Kobe Bryant's historic performance on January 22, 2006, where he scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, making it one of the greatest scoring performances in NBA history.

What materials are used in the Nike Kobe 1 Protro 81 Pt Game?

The product description indicates they are made of leather, reflecting the premium materials often found in the Kobe Protro series.

How do I clean the white leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the surface. For tougher stains on the leather, consult specialized leather cleaning guides, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

What are the main color components of this shoe?

The main colorway is white and black.

Is this shoe suitable for women?

This specific variant is designed for adult males and is listed with men's UK sizing. Women interested in this shoe should consult Nike's size conversion charts carefully or look for women's specific versions if available.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Consult Nike's official size chart for accurate measurements. Consider the difference between performance fit and casual wear fit. For this specific model, compare to other Kobe Protro models if possible.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with standard shoelaces. You can find replacements at sporting goods stores or online.

Discoloration on white areas

Gently clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the midsole, but avoid colored leather areas.
