FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for indoor courts?
While they can be worn indoors, the rubber outsole is specifically designed and optimized for the grip and durability needed on outdoor courts. Indoor-specific shoes often feature different rubber compounds.
What does 'PF' stand for in Air Jordan 36 PF?
PF stands for 'Performance'', indicating that this version is designed with specifications suited for players, often with a slightly wider fit and enhanced durability for on-court performance.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush or a clean, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water, then let it air dry completely. Avoid soaking the suede.
What is the main advantage of the Zoom Air cushioning?
The Zoom Air units provide highly responsive cushioning, meaning they compress and quickly rebound, offering excellent energy return for explosive movements like jumping and sprinting.
Can I wear these for running or casual walking?
These shoes are primarily designed for basketball. While comfortable, they are not optimized for running or long-distance walking and may not provide the specific support or cushioning needed for those activities.
What inspired the design of the Jordan 36?
The Jordan 36 draws design inspiration from earlier, classic Air Jordan releases while incorporating modern materials and performance technology.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper combines a lightweight Leno-weave mesh with TPU overlays and synthetic reinforcements for breathability, flexibility, and durability. Suede panels are used on the mudguard, heel counter, eyestay, and collar.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow them to mold to your feet.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust, dirt, or debris. If playing on a dusty court, wipe the soles periodically.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Double knot the laces. If the 3M material causes them to be slick, consider using a different lacing technique or replacing the laces with a more textured pair.
