FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean in the shoe's name?

'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'Performance Retro,' indicating that the shoe is a retro-inspired design updated with modern performance technology and materials.

What is the significance of 'Mamba Day'?

'Mamba Day' refers to April 13, 2016, the date of Kobe Bryant's final NBA game, where he scored 60 points. This shoe commemorates that iconic farewell performance.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed using Nike's Flyknit technology, known for its lightweight, breathable, and adaptive fit.

Is this shoe suitable for professional basketball games?

While based on a performance shoe, the Protro line often includes elements that make them highly desirable for collectors. For intense professional play, users might prefer the latest dedicated performance models, but it offers good support and flexibility for most basketball activities.

How does the sizing run for this model?

Nike trainers generally run true to size. However, due to the adaptive nature of Flyknit, it's advisable to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible, especially if you have wider feet.

What is the recommended way to clean these shoes?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Are there other colorways or versions of the Kobe 11 Protro?

The Kobe 11 Protro line has seen various releases and colorways. The 'Mamba Day' edition is a specific tribute model.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Flyknit material offers a degree of flexibility, so subtle lacing changes can significantly impact comfort.

Slight discoloration or scuffs on the upper

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For scuffs, a careful application of a suitable shoe cleaner might help, followed by wiping with a clean cloth.

Bottom sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider consulting a shoe repair specialist for potential sole treatments, though this is uncommon for new footwear.
