FAQs

What does 'GS' mean in the product name?

'GS' stands for Grade School, indicating that these shoes are sized for older kids, typically within a specific range of children's shoe sizes.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?

While the Nike Kobe 6 (GS) can be used outdoors, its traction pattern and materials are primarily designed and optimized for the smoother, cleaner surfaces of indoor basketball courts. Frequent outdoor use may lead to faster wear of the outsole.

How do I best clean the snakeskin-textured upper?

To clean the snakeskin texture, use a soft, damp cloth and gently wipe the surface. For dirtier spots, a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap diluted in water) can be applied to the cloth, then wiped off with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing that could damage the texture.

Do these shoes run true to size for kids?

Generally, Nike Kobe shoes are designed to run true to size. However, foot shapes can vary. It's always recommended to consult Nike's official size chart and measure your child's foot to ensure the best fit.

What kind of cushioning is in the midsole?

The Nike Kobe 6 (GS) features a springy foam midsole, which provides responsive cushioning and a plush feel to enhance comfort and absorb impact during play.

Can these shoes be used for other sports besides basketball?

While designed specifically for the demands of basketball, their responsive cushioning, stability, and grip may make them suitable for other court-based activities that require similar movements. However, for specialized sports, dedicated footwear is often recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slippery on the court

Clean the outsole regularly to remove dust and debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the court surface is also clean. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn, indicating it's time for new shoes.

Discomfort or rubbing during play

Check your sock choice; thicker athletic socks can improve comfort and fit. Re-lace the shoes to ensure an even, secure fit without overtightening. Allow a short break-in period if they are new, as the materials will conform to your foot.

Laces constantly come untied

Try a double knot for increased security, especially during active play. Ensure the laces are pulled tight and evenly before tying.

Upper material shows scuffs or minor damage

Clean the affected area gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid dragging feet or excessive friction against rough surfaces. For minor scuffs, specialized shoe cleaners designed for synthetic materials may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Nike Kobe 6 (GS) is simple:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the classic laces are threaded through all eyelets. Start from the bottom, tightening evenly as you go up, securing the shoe snugly but comfortably around your foot. Use a double knot for extra security during play.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to the foot's shape, especially before intense use.

Compatibility

  • Best Use: These shoes are primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. The traction pattern is optimized for clean, smooth surfaces to provide maximum grip and durability.
  • Age Group: Specifically sized for Older Kids (GS - Grade School), ensuring a fit tailored for growing feet.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Kobe 6 (GS):

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the snakeskin-textured upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and water to remove dirt and debris from the traction pattern. This maintains optimal grip.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or dry your basketball shoes, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
