FAQs

How do I clean my Kobe IX Elite Low EM Protro shoes?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents.

What is the lifespan of the outsole?

The lifespan depends on usage and the court surface. Regular play on abrasive surfaces will wear the outsole faster.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they can be used outdoors, but the outsole may wear down faster than on indoor courts.

What kind of cushioning do these shoes have?

They feature a React foam midsole, providing responsive cushioning.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Sizing can vary. Refer to Nike's size chart and consider trying them on if possible.

What is the benefit of the Flywire cables?

The Flywire cables provide a secure and adaptive fit at the midfoot.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Check the lacing and ensure it's not too tight. Consider ordering a half size up if necessary.

Poor traction on the court.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove dust and debris that can reduce grip.

The Flyknit upper feels uncomfortable.

Allow some break-in time. The Flyknit material will mold to your foot over time.
