FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?

While durable, the specialized traction pattern is optimized for indoor court performance. Frequent use on rough outdoor surfaces may lead to faster wear of the outsole.

How do I determine the correct size?

Nike shoes generally run true to size. We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to Nike's official size chart for kids' shoes. Consider trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

What is the 'Protro' series?

The 'Protro' (Performance Retro) series by Nike takes iconic Kobe Bryant signature shoes and updates them with modern cushioning and performance technologies, enhancing comfort and responsiveness while retaining the classic design.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.

What does the snakeskin pattern symbolize?

The snakeskin pattern on the Kobe 6 is a direct reference to Kobe Bryant's 'Black Mamba' nickname, symbolizing his predatory instincts, agility, and striking ability on the basketball court.

Is there a break-in period for these shoes?

Due to the soft foam and flexible upper, the break-in period is typically minimal. However, it's always recommended to wear them for short periods during practice before full game play to ensure optimal comfort and fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern – looser lacing for wider feet, tighter for more support. Wear appropriate athletic socks.

Slipping on the court.

Regularly clean the outsole to remove dust and debris that can reduce traction. Use a damp cloth to wipe the soles before play. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry.

Unpleasant odor develops in shoes.

After each use, remove insoles (if possible) and allow shoes to air dry completely. Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Avoid storing in damp places.

Care

To maintain the appearance and performance of your Kobe 6 Protro shoes, follow these general care tips:

  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  4. Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda packets inside the shoes when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.
