FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' stands for 'performance retro,' indicating that this shoe is a modern re-release of a classic design, updated with contemporary performance technology.

Is this shoe suitable for professional basketball play?

Yes, the Kobe 1 Protro series is designed with performance in mind, featuring advanced cushioning and support systems suitable for competitive play.

How does the 81 'Pt Game' edition differ from the original Kobe 1?

The 'Pt Game' edition commemorates Kobe Bryant's 81-point performance and features updated technology like full-length Zoom Air and a carbon fiber shank, while retaining the original silhouette and premium leather.

What is the best way to clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated mild leather cleaner and a clean cloth, followed by a wipe with a damp cloth.

Does the shoe run true to size?

Generally, Nike Protro models aim for a true-to-size fit. However, it is always recommended to consult size charts and reviews, as personal preference for fit can vary.

What is the significance of the '2026' in the product name?

The '2026' indicates the year this specific commemorative edition is released, marking the 20th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's historic 81-point game.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the material and maintain performance.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to break them in, or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if accessible.

Uneven cushioning or support

Ensure the laces are tied properly and evenly to distribute pressure. Check that the insoles are correctly positioned.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Store them with shoe trees if possible.

Discoloration of white leather

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with dark-colored fabrics. Clean immediately with a suitable leather cleaner.
