FAQs
Are the Air Jordan Tatum 3 shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
No, the Air Jordan Tatum 3 is specifically designed as an indoor shoe. Its rubber outsole and overall construction are optimized for polished indoor court surfaces and may not offer the same durability or performance on rough outdoor courts.
How should I clean my Air Jordan Tatum 3 shoes?
You can clean the textile upper and rubber outsole with a soft cloth or sponge, using a small amount of mild soap and cold water. Gently wipe the shoes clean, then allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What kind of cushioning technology is used in these shoes?
The Air Jordan Tatum 3 features a combination of responsive Air Zoom cushioning and soft Cushlon foam underfoot. This blend is designed to provide a smooth ride, excellent energy return, and impact absorption.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, Air Jordan shoes are true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit for your UK 9 size.
Can I use these shoes for other sports like running or cross-training?
While lightweight and comfortable, the Air Jordan Tatum 3 is optimized for the specific movements of basketball. For dedicated running or cross-training, shoes designed for those activities would provide better support and performance characteristics.
What makes the Tatum 3 so lightweight?
The shoe's lightweight nature comes from its flexible textile upper and strategic layering of materials where they are most needed. This design choice aims to reduce overall weight, enhancing speed and agility on the court.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels loose or not secure during play.
Re-lace your shoes, ensuring even tension from the toe box to the ankle. Make sure you have selected the correct size (UK 9 for this specific model) and that your athletic socks provide adequate thickness without causing tightness.
Lack of expected cushioning or responsiveness.
Ensure the shoes have been adequately 'broken in' with a few uses. If the issue persists, verify that the shoe size is correct, as an ill-fitting shoe can prevent the cushioning technologies from performing optimally. Also, ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Squeaking or poor traction on the court.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dust or debris that might be causing slippage. Ensure the court surface is also clean. If playing on a dusty court, occasional wiping of the outsole during play may be necessary. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before use.
Discomfort or rubbing during prolonged wear.
Check your sock choice; thin or ill-fitting socks can cause friction. Ensure the shoe's lacing isn't too tight, which can restrict blood flow. If discomfort persists, the shoe size or fit might not be ideal for your foot shape, despite being a UK 9.

Care Instructions
Cleaning: To clean the textile upper and rubber outsole, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers or radiators, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments to prevent material degradation.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
