FAQs
What does CHBL stand for?

How should I store these to prevent yellowing?
Keep the shoes in a humidity-controlled environment, preferably with silica gel packets in the box, and avoid direct exposure to heat.
Does the Protro edition fit the same as the original 2007 model?
The Protro version utilizes modern construction techniques that may result in a slightly more precise fit, but it follows the original design intent.
Are there different colorways available in the Protro series?

Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not being worn to help maintain the structure of the upper materials.
Dirt accumulation on the outsole
Gently clean the tread with a soft-bristle brush and a mild soap-and-water solution, ensuring you dry the area immediately with a clean cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your pair in optimal condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the metallic and colored accents over time. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust after light wear. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this may damage the materials used in the Protro construction. For sizing, ensure you consult your standard Nike UK size equivalent to guarantee the correct fit, as the Kobe 3 silhouette features a specific internal architecture that prioritizes a snug, performance-oriented feel.
