Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro CHBL remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The shoe adheres to standard athletic sizing; however, since it is a low-top model, ensure your lace tension is customized to secure the heel properly.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild cleaning solution for the upper. Avoid soaking the materials, as the Sail base is susceptible to staining.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the Metallic Gold accents from fading or oxidizing.
- Surface Compatibility: Best suited for indoor hardwood surfaces. Avoid rough outdoor concrete to prevent premature wear on the outsole pattern.
