This shoe is for light and shifty guards like me. I loved the traction, the cushion was very low to the floor and support was great. There was really no issues with this shoe. I got the College Navy color and these colors match my team colors very well and overall, I really loved this shoe.

Not real crazy about the rubber insole. Tight in the toe area, width seems narrow. The ball of my sons foot hurts when wearing them, not sure if it's the insole or what. Love the look, just don't fit like he would like.

I won the lottery by getting my hands (or feet!) on these! What a beautiful, comfortable shoe. My friends and family were absolutely blown away. On the court or in the street these kicks will turn heads!

Amazing company I believe are very underrated, always have great shoe options, they get product out to you fast. They are my go to when looking for a pair of shoes. No bugs or freezes when trying to get a popular shoe drop. Highly recommend to all!!!
It is so hard to buy Kobes now days. I am happy I got a pair at Dicks Sporting goods. Great basketball performance shoe. Really like the all grey.
Very fast delivery and nice packaging and nice ahoes
Quality materials and build. AMAZING ankle stability for a low-top. These run small so go up .5 size - even if you have a narrow foot. Good for indoor hoops, drills, CrossFit, and neutral enough to be worn as a casual shoe. Break in time was similar to the Sabrina 2.
I was hesitant to order since I still have pair of original Kobe VIII. But couldn’t resist an open opportunity to get updated Kobe Protro.Very narrow fit. Glad I read previous reviews and order half (10.5) size up. Still tight fit. Probably should have got full size up. Stiff and will require break in. High quality material and nice Nike swoosh embroidery.
Kobe’s are typically a very comfortable shoe, but they also steal the show on the court. These are just a simple and clean color profile that does the job on the court without drawing too much attention.
