The Nike Kobe VI Older Kids GS is ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply lace them up using the classic laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that supports your foot during play. These shoes are primarily designed for indoor basketball court use, where their specialized traction pattern can perform optimally without excessive wear. To maintain their performance and appearance, wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Store in a cool, dry place. Regularly check laces for wear and replace if necessary to ensure continued secure fit.
