The React foam provides responsive cushioning, absorbing impact and returning energy to help you feel quicker and more agile on the court.
While the outsole is durable, these shoes are optimized for indoor courts. Frequent use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may accelerate wear and tear.
The nine red stitch lines on the heel are a symbolic tribute to Kobe Bryant's resilience and recovery after his Achilles injury.
The React foam is integrated into the midsole and is not designed to be user-replaceable. It works in conjunction with the Zoom Air unit for optimal performance.
This Protro update replaces the original Lunarlon cushioning with a full-length Nike React foam drop-in and adds Zoom Air for enhanced modern responsiveness.
The product information lists this specific model as UK 12.5. If you are unsure, consult Nike's official sizing chart for accurate measurement guidance.
Yes, the engineered mesh upper is designed to be lightweight and breathable, promoting airflow to keep your feet comfortable during play.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly.
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth before playing to remove dust. Ensure the playing surface is clean.
The React foam and Zoom Air unit may take time to activate. Continue to wear them for play; responsiveness should improve with use.
Verify the lacing system is not too tight. The engineered mesh is designed to be snug for support, but should not cause discomfort.
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. For optimal fit, ensure laces are adjusted securely but comfortably, not overly tight, to allow for foot expansion during activity.
Compatibility: Designed for performance basketball. While suitable for general athletic training, their specific design is best utilized on court surfaces like wood or synthetic courts.
