Nike Kobe 6 Protro Shoes

Description

Upper: Supportive polyurethane scale upper backed by a rigid external heel clip to lock the calcaneus bone securely over the footbed during hard lateral forces.
Midsole Cushioning: High-rebound Cushlon foam paired with a forefoot Zoom Turbo pod designed to absorb landing forces and minimize kinetic strain on knees and ankles.
Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Low-profile court contact height and a rigid midfoot carbon shank prevent midfoot twisting and support natural arch alignment.
Outsole: Wide forefoot outrigger layout engineered to increase lateral ground contact and prevent rollover during aggressive side-to-side cuts.

Key Features & Benefits

Lateral Outrigger Support: Extended outsole edge creates a wider base to resist ankle roll during aggressive lateral stops.
Grounded Impact Protection: Low stack height maintains court feel while Cushlon foam buffers harsh vertical landing forces.
Rigid Heel Counter Lockout: External heel cradle cradles the rearfoot to maintain proper anatomical alignment.
Removable Insole: Factory sockliner removes easily to accommodate low-profile performance insoles or custom orthotics.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Fits True to Size (TTS). If using custom medical orthotics or high-arch support insoles, select half a size larger to ensure sufficient volume inside the toe box.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Lifestyle Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running / Basketball: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for movement clearance and to prevent toe impact.

Nike Signature Fit & Characteristics

Fit Profile: Nike shoes generally feature a snug, athletic wrap around the midfoot and heel. Models like the Air Max, Pegasus, and Mercurial series tend to fit narrower than brands like New Balance or Brooks.
