Description
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Challenge Red All-Star is a bold revival of the colourway Kobe Bryant wore during his 2011 NBA All-Star MVP performance. Released in March 2021, it features a vibrant red and black snakeskin-textured upper, symbolising Kobe’s fierce on-court presence and his nickname, the Black Mamba. White Swooshes on each side add striking contrast and the tongue tags are branded with “LA” and “2011,” commemorating the game and location.
Performance enhancements include a full-length Cushlon midsole coupled with Zoom Air Turbo cushioning in the forefoot, ensuring responsive and lightweight comfort. The rubber outsole features a traction pattern optimized for multidirectional court movement, making it ideal both for play and collection.
Care and Maintenance
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.
