FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'performance' and 'retro,' indicating that these are updated versions of classic Nike shoes with modern performance enhancements.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage and featuring performance tech like Zoom Air, these are primarily commemorative and lifestyle trainers. They are not designed for the rigors of professional or intense amateur basketball play.

How do I clean the white leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the leather or coloration.

What is the significance of the '81 Point Game'?

This shoe commemorates Kobe Bryant's historic 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors on January 22, 2006, one of the greatest scoring achievements in NBA history.

What materials are used in the shoe?

The primary material is premium leather for the upper, complemented by rubber outsoles and internal performance elements like Zoom Air and a carbon fiber shank.

Is this a limited edition release?

As an anniversary and commemorative edition, the 'Pt Game' is typically released in limited quantities, making it a sought-after item for collectors.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

The insole is generally removable in this type of trainer, allowing space for custom orthotics. However, fit may vary, so it's recommended to test compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size if available.

Leather shows creases or scuffs

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid excessive bending of the shoe.

Cushioning feels too firm or too soft

Cushioning feel can be subjective and may adapt slightly after break-in. If the firmness is a significant issue, consider the intended use; these are designed for comfort and style, not extreme athletic performance.

  • Utilizes modern cushioning technology (Zoom Air) for comfort.

Cons

  • May be considered a collector's item, potentially limiting wear for some.
  • Specific anniversary editions can have limited availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the Nike Kobe 1 Protro requires no setup. Simply wear them.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male feet. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
