FAQs

Are the Air Jordan 36 suitable for wide feet?

The Air Jordan 36 is designed with a dynamic fit system. While it aims to accommodate various foot shapes, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's often recommended to try them on if possible or consider sizing up if you have wider feet.

How do I clean the 'Heatwave' colorway?

Clean the shoes using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. For stubborn dirt, focus on gentle scrubbing. Always allow them to air dry completely away from heat sources.

What is the main advantage of the cushioning in the Air Jordan 36?

The primary advantage is its responsiveness, which helps absorb impact during play and provides energy return, allowing for more explosive movements and reduced fatigue.

Can I use these shoes for activities other than basketball?

These shoes are specifically engineered for basketball. While they offer comfort, they may not provide the appropriate support or durability for other high-impact sports or activities.

What does 'PF' mean in some Air Jordan 36 models?

'PF' stands for 'Performance'', which typically indicates a slightly wider fit and enhanced durability features tailored for the demands of basketball, particularly for players who use them frequently.

How long should I expect the break-in period to be?

The break-in period can vary, but typically lasts for a few wearings, usually 2-5 sessions of basketball practice or games, for the shoe to fully adapt to your foot's shape and for the cushioning to reach its optimal feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight during initial wear.

This is common with performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts.

Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth or use a brush to remove dust and debris. Periodically cleaning the outsoles will help maintain optimal grip.

Discomfort after extended use.

Ensure the laces are tied correctly, providing a balance of snugness and comfort without constriction. Check that the insoles are properly seated and clean.

Excessive squeaking noise.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole or outsole and the court. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole or ensure all parts are clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These basketball shoes come ready to wear. It is recommended to wear them for a few practice sessions to allow the materials to mold to your foot for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility:

  • Activity: Specifically designed for basketball.
  • Surface: Best suited for indoor basketball courts. Performance may vary on outdoor courts or other surfaces.
  • Foot Type: While designed for a dynamic fit, individuals with very wide or narrow feet may need to consider this when evaluating the fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the insoles, remove them and clean with a damp cloth, then air dry completely.
  • Drying: After cleaning or getting wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in damp conditions, which can lead to material degradation.
