Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low Protro Fade to Black - Low Shoes - Black

The "Fade to Black" series is a collection of shoes that represents the final chapter of Kobe Bryant's career, symbolizing his transition towards retirement. Each shoe in the series tells a part of that story.

While comfortable due to the Flyknit upper, these shoes are designed with basketball performance in mind. Their collectible nature and premium materials mean many users prefer to reserve them for specific occasions or light activity to preserve their condition.

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the material and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

These shoes are available in various adult sizes, including UK 5.5, 7.5, 8, 10.5, 11, 12.5, 13, and 13.5, among others. Please check specific product listings for exact availability.

The upper is constructed primarily from Nike's Flyknit material, known for its lightweight, breathable, and adaptive fit.

While the technology is optimized for basketball, the low-profile design and supportive fit might make them suitable for other court sports requiring similar agility. However, they are best suited for their intended purpose.

"Protro" is a portmanteau of "performance retro," indicating that the shoe is a retro model updated with modern performance technology and materials.

The Flyknit upper is designed to be snug. If it feels restrictive, wear them for short periods to allow the material to mold to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size; if not, consider exchanging for a half-size larger.

Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Periodically clean the outsoles to maintain optimal grip.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gold accents gently with a dry, soft cloth.

Flyknit material may feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short durations to break them in. Gentle stretching exercises with the shoe on can also help.
