Nike Kobe 4 Protro Girl Dad

The Nike Kobe 4 Protro Girl Dad, released in June 2024, is a heartfelt tribute to Kobe Bryant’s devotion to his daughters and his lasting legacy as a father and athlete. This edition draws inspiration from an emotional courtside moment shared between Kobe and his daughter Gianna, featuring the words “Girl Dad” stitched inside the tongue. The “Bicoastal” green suede upper takes cues from a beanie Kobe once wore while supporting women’s basketball, complemented by black detailing on the Swoosh, tongue, and laces, with refined metallic silver accents at the heel.

A chrome heel clip sits above Nike’s signature Zoom Air cushioning, providing responsive performance and comfort. The Total Orange insoles reference Kobe’s WNBA hoodie, adding symbolic depth to the design. Merging technical precision with emotional resonance, this sneaker stands as a fitting homage to Kobe’s love for the game and his family.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
