Product Information
Full details
The Nike Kobe A.D. Mid is a high-performance basketball sneaker tailored for adult athletes seeking a blend of responsiveness and support on the court. Featuring advanced Flywire technology and a dual-cushioning system, it provides a secure lockdown and impact protection for quick movements; however, users should note that the leather and mesh construction requires a breaking-in period to achieve maximum flexibility.

FAQs
Is the Kobe A.D. Mid good for outdoor courts?
While the gum rubber outsole is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor performance; frequent use on rough outdoor concrete may accelerate wear.
Does this shoe come with ankle support?
The mid-cut design offers moderate ankle stability without sacrificing the mobility required for quick court movements.
How do I clean the leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear to avoid damaging the material.
What is the primary benefit of the Zoom Air unit?
The Zoom Air unit provides responsive energy return and impact protection specifically in the heel for landings.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics for specialized support.
Troubleshooting
Slippery feel on the court
Clean the outsole rubber with a damp cloth to remove court dust buildup.
Tight fit across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more room, or wear thinner athletic socks while breaking in the leather.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight and supportive lockdown fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure your laces are tightened securely through the Flywire loops to activate the lockdown system. The shoe fits true to size, but athletes using heavy-duty ankle braces may want to ensure the mid-cut collar accommodates their specific gear. To care for your Kobe A.D. shoes, wipe the outsole with a damp cloth after each game to maintain traction. For the upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the mesh and a leather-safe cleaner for the overlays to prevent cracking or discoloration.
