FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball legend, these 'Protro' (performance retro) models are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and comfort. They offer good support for casual activities, but for serious athletic performance, specialized basketball shoes are recommended.
What does 'Protro' mean?
'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'performance' and 'retro.' It signifies a retro shoe design that has been updated with modern performance technology and materials for enhanced comfort and wearability.
How do I clean the black accents?
The black accents can typically be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaners that might lift the color. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the significance of the '81 Pt Game' reference?
The '81 Pt Game' refers to Kobe Bryant's iconic performance on January 22, 2006, where he scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second-highest single-game scoring total in NBA history.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult men's sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the specific size range offered, such as the UK 6.5 mentioned in this guide.
Are these a limited edition release?
Commemorative editions like the '81 Pt Game' often have limited production runs. Availability may vary and can be limited to specific release dates or retailers.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between different shoe components. Try inserting a powder or talcum powder lightly into the shoe or between the tongue and laces. If the noise persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure new laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent undue stress.
Discoloration on white leather
For minor scuffs, try a specialized white leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight.
