Nike Kobe 6 Protro Italian Camo

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Italian Camo, released in April 2024, is a tribute to Kobe Bryant’s time in Italy and the country’s rich basketball heritage. Featuring a distinctive camouflage pattern inspired by Italy’s diverse landscapes—vineyards, mountains, and coastlines—the upper blends Black, Khaki, and Olive tones. Crimson Red accents on the Swoosh and tongue pay homage to the passion and spirit of Italian basketball as well as the Italian flag.

Originally launched in 2011, this Protro version updates performance with modern cushioning and construction improvements, including Flywire cables for lockdown fit and Zoom Air cushioning for impact protection. The shoe epitomizes Italian culture and Kobe’s legacy, merging heritage design with contemporary basketball technology.

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.
