The name is inspired by Kobe Bryant's "Black Mamba" nickname and the Chinese zodiac's Year of the Snake.
Protro stands for 'Performance Retro,' indicating that the shoe is a retro design updated with modern performance technology.
The primary colors are University Red and Black, with Metallic Gold accents.
This particular pair dropped exclusively in China to celebrate Kobe Bryant's enduring impact and the Lunar New Year.
The snake design and motifs pay homage to Kobe Bryant's 'Black Mamba' persona and the symbolism of the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac.
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the textured areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, ensure proper lacing for a snug fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Due to the vibrant University Red dye, some minimal color transfer may occur initially. Wear with darker socks or allow the shoe to air out before extensive use.
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but on extremely polished surfaces, always exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Setup:
As a finished footwear product, no specific setup is required beyond wearing. Ensure the laces are comfortably tied for optimal fit and support.
Compatibility:
This sneaker is designed for adult use. Its primary compatibility is with casual attire or basketball performance needs. It is not designed for activities requiring specialized footwear like hiking or formal events.
