Nike Kobe 9 Low Protro - Purple, Blue - UK 11

The primary update is the replacement of the original Lunarlon cushioning with a full-length Nike React drop-in foam and the addition of Zoom Air for modern responsiveness and comfort.

The engineered mesh upper offers some flexibility, but the fit is generally considered standard. It is recommended to try them on if you have wider feet to ensure comfort.

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoe.

'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'performance' and 'retro,' indicating a retro sneaker re-engineered with modern performance technology.

While built with performance in mind, they are most durable when used for their intended purpose on basketball courts. Heavy everyday wear on varied surfaces may accelerate wear and tear.

The nine red stitch lines on the heel are a symbolic design element referencing Kobe Bryant's resilience and determination following his Achilles injury.

This guide lists the UK size. For the Nike Kobe 9 Low Protro in UK 11, you would need to convert your US size. It is always recommended to consult Nike's official size chart for accurate conversions.

Loosen the laces and try adjusting them for a more comfortable fit. Consider if the size is appropriate for your foot. Some materials may offer a slight stretch with wear.

Ensure the React foam and Zoom Air units are not compromised. Excessive wear or impact can reduce their effectiveness over time. Clean the outsole for optimal grip.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or specific floor conditions. Ensure the insoles are properly seated and the outsole is clean. If persistent, it may be a characteristic of the materials.
