FAQs

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

PF stands for 'Performance Fit.' This indicates that the shoe is designed with a slightly wider build and more volume to better accommodate players who may need a more generous fit, often common for athletes in Asia or those with wider feet.

What is the primary benefit of the Zoom Air Strobel unit?

The full-length Zoom Air Strobel unit is placed directly under the footbed, maximizing responsiveness and providing exceptional energy return with every step, jump, or cut.

Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball courts?

While the materials are durable, the Air Jordan 36 PF 'First Light' is primarily designed for indoor courts. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces can accelerate wear and tear on the sole and upper.

What is the original release date and retail price of this model?

The Air Jordan 36 PF 'First Light' was released in September 2021 with an original retail price of $185.

How does the jacquard Leno-Weave upper contribute to performance?

The jacquard Leno-Weave upper is lightweight, breathable, and strong. It provides a supportive yet flexible structure that adapts to the foot's movement during athletic activities.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Air Jordan 36 PF 'First Light'. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size.

The 'First Light' model features a PF (Performance Fit) which is designed to be more accommodating. If they still feel tight, ensure the laces are not over-tightened and allow for a break-in period. The materials may stretch slightly with use.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after use.

The Zoom Air units are designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can eventually lead to some compression. Ensure the shoe is clean and free from debris that might impede the sole's flexibility. Check for any visible damage to the cushioning system.

Material appears dirty or scuffed.

Use a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth with cold water to gently clean the affected areas of the upper and sole. For scuffs on the sole, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for athletic use, particularly basketball. While durable, they are not intended for casual hiking or extreme outdoor conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the jacquard Leno-Weave upper. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
