FAQs

What does 'PF' stand for in Air Jordan 36 PF?

'PF' stands for Performance Fit. This typically indicates that the shoe is designed with a slightly wider base and more volume to accommodate a broader range of athletes, particularly those who may need a bit more room than a standard width shoe.

How do I clean the special 'Year of the Tiger' accents?

For the vibrant accents, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid scrubbing or using any chemical cleaners, as this could damage the print or material. Allow to air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?

While the 'Year of the Tiger' Air Jordan 36 PF is a performance shoe, its outsole is optimized for indoor courts. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outsole tread.

What is the main inspiration behind this shoe's design?

The design is inspired by the Lunar New Year, specifically celebrating the 'Year of the Tiger.' This is reflected in the vibrant, multicolored accents and the tiger head graphics on the tongue.

How does the cushioning feel?

The Air Jordan 36 typically features responsive cushioning designed to provide a good balance of impact protection and court feel, allowing for quick movements.

Can these trainers be worn for casual use?

Yes, the unique design and comfortable fit make the Air Jordan 36 PF trainers suitable for casual wear in addition to basketball performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or narrow

The 'PF' (Performance Fit) is designed to be more accommodating, but if still tight, try loosening the laces and re-tying them. Ensure you have the correct size. For persistent tightness, consider using a shoe stretcher.

Traction issues on court

Ensure the outsole is clean from dust and debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth. If playing on a particularly dusty court, consider using a grip-enhancing spray designed for athletic shoes.

Discoloration of vibrant accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade colors. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit and performance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the unique design elements.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can deform the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
  4. Lacing: Ensure laces are tied appropriately for a secure fit without being overly tight, which could strain the eyelets or upper materials.
