FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean in the shoe's name?

'Protro' is a term coined by Kobe Bryant, signifying a 'performance retro'. It indicates that the shoe is a modern interpretation of a classic model, updated with contemporary performance technology.

What is the significance of the 'Girl Dad' theme?

The 'Girl Dad' theme celebrates Kobe Bryant's profound love and dedication to his daughters. The inscription on the tongue and the overall theme honor this special aspect of his life.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

Yes, the Kobe 4 Protro line is built for performance and was originally designed for elite athletes. They offer the support, traction, and mobility needed for competitive play.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium suede in a 'Bicoastal' teal color, with black accents and metallic silver detailing.

How does the low-cut design affect performance?

The low-cut design offers greater ankle flexibility and freedom of movement, which can be advantageous for players who prioritize agility, quick cuts, and a natural feel for the court.

Where can I find the 'Girl Dad' embroidery?

The 'Girl Dad' inscription is embroidered on the inside of the shoe's tongue.

What is the recommended way to clean the suede material?

Use a soft suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. Always allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too snug or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Lacing techniques can also adjust fit; try a different lacing pattern or loosen/tighten laces at specific points.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust build-up. Ensure the court surface is clean.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
