Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and re-lace, ensuring a less constrictive fit. The Flyknit material will also stretch slightly with wear.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the soles are clean from debris. For improved traction on indoor courts, consider a light wipe-down with a damp cloth.

Discoloration or marks on upper

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of a similar length and material.

As a pair of trainers, the Nike Kobe 11 Protro Mamba Day requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure they are comfortably snug but not overly tight to allow for foot flex during movement.

Compatibility:
