Troubleshooting

Tight fit on initial wear

The suede material will naturally stretch and mold to your foot with regular wear. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially or using thicker socks during break-in.

Suede becoming dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede cleaner or a suede eraser for minor marks. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Reduced traction on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup. Ensure the court surface is clean for optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike Zoom Kobe 4 Protro arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance. It is designed for adult use, primarily for basketball activities.

Compatibility: While optimized for basketball, the shoe's design makes it compatible with casual streetwear. It is not intended for specialized sports other than basketball.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or suede eraser to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid soaking the material.
  • Lining and Insoles: The interior can be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. The insole can be removed for separate airing or cleaning.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or original box, to protect the suede and maintain shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
