Nike Kobe 1 Protro 81 Points - Trainers - White - Black - UK 7.5

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
