FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Kobe 3 Low Protro?
The Kobe 3 Low Protro is primarily designed for basketball performance, offering responsiveness and agility. It is also suitable for general athletic training and casual athletic-inspired wear.
How does the low-top design impact performance?
The low-top design enhances ankle mobility, allowing for a greater range of motion. This can be beneficial for quick movements, cuts, and overall agility on the court.
What does 'Protro' signify in the shoe's name?
'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'professional' and 'retrospective,' indicating that these are updated retrospectives of classic Kobe Bryant models, enhanced with modern performance technology.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While designed for a standard fit, the lacing system allows for some adjustment. However, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them more comfortable if they offer a wider fit option or if the material has some natural give.
What is the main color of these shoes?
The main color is Pink Quartz, with White as a secondary color.
How should I clean the Pink Quartz material?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the UK size for this specific product listing?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Try lacing the shoes more loosely around the ankle area. If the shoe is fundamentally too small, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Color transfer on socks
New footwear, especially dyed materials, can sometimes transfer color. This typically reduces with wear. Washing socks before first use may help. If the issue persists, consult product care instructions for cleaning the shoe's interior.
Reduced grip on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris, which can impair traction. If playing on a particularly dusty court, wiping the soles periodically with a damp cloth can help restore grip.
