Who should NOT buy this Protro shoe from Nike

Compared to the OG, the Kobe 5 Protro bites better

However, it must be noted that the outsole attracts too much dust. Experts say that there is a need to wipe pretty frequently when playing on dusty courts.

Hoopers enjoy the plushness and sponginess of the Cushlon-equipped heel. However, this benefit is not immediately felt. There is a need to first break in the shoe.
