FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While primarily designed for basketball performance, the Air Jordan Tatum 3 can be worn casually thanks to its stylish Grey design. However, for maximum longevity, consider using them primarily for their intended athletic purpose.
How do I determine the correct size?
We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. Your feet should feel snug but not constricted, with a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Refer to standard UK adult foot size measurements. For this specific variant, the size is UK 16.
Can I machine wash my Air Jordan Tatum 3 shoes?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended for athletic shoes as it can damage materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions outlined in the care section.
What is the primary material used in the shoe?
> Info needed: *Specific material composition (e.g., synthetic leather, mesh, knit).* Typically, Air Jordan basketball shoes use a combination of synthetic materials, textiles, and rubber for durability, support, and breathability.
Is this model suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
> Info needed: *Specific outsole rubber compound or durability rating.* While many basketball shoes can be used outdoors, prolonged outdoor use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear on the outsole, potentially reducing traction for indoor play over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better accommodate your foot's width and arch. Consider different sock thicknesses.
Squeaking sound while walking/playing
This can sometimes be caused by dust or moisture between the outsole and the court surface. Clean the outsole. If it's internal, a light application of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help, but often indicates a material interaction.
Reduced traction on court
Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove dust and debris. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, the shoes may need replacement to ensure safety and performance.
Foot discomfort or blisters
Break in new shoes gradually. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic activity and fit well. Check for proper sizing and consider if the shoe's last shape is compatible with your foot anatomy.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shoes:
- Cleaning:
- Upper: Wipe dirt and grime off with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for athletic footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Sole: Brush off loose dirt from the outsole. A damp cloth can be used to wipe the midsole.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air out the shoes. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda (placed in socks inside the shoes) can help absorb moisture and odors.
- Frequency: Clean after heavy use, or periodically to maintain appearance and hygiene.
