Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound during movement
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe layers or the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both it and the inside of the shoe are completely dry, and then reinserting it. Ensure the shoe is thoroughly dried after any exposure to moisture.
Shoe feels too tight or causes discomfort
The Nike Kobe 8 Protro may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit without being too restrictive.
Color transfer onto socks or surfaces
New or damp footwear, especially with vibrant colors like Court Purple, can sometimes experience minor color transfer. This is often temporary and may reduce with wear. Ensure shoes are fully dry before prolonged contact with light-colored materials.
