FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for indoor courts?
While the Air Jordan 36 PF trainers offer excellent cushioning and support, their rubber sole is specifically designed for optimal traction and durability on outdoor courts. For indoor courts, a shoe with a different outsole compound might provide superior grip.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer and measure your foot length. For basketball shoes, a snug fit is generally recommended for best performance, but ensure there is enough room to avoid discomfort.
What does 'PF' stand for in the shoe name?
'PF' stands for 'Performance Flight', indicating these shoes are engineered with enhanced features for athletic performance, particularly suited for players who utilize explosive movements.
Can the suede panels be cleaned if they get wet?
Suede is best kept dry. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry completely before attempting to clean or brush it. Excessive moisture can damage suede. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
How durable is the Leno-weave upper?
The Leno-weave upper is designed to be both lightweight and durable. It offers breathability while resisting tears and abrasions common in basketball play, reinforced by TPU overlays.
What is the primary benefit of the Zoom Air cushioning?
The Zoom Air cushioning, both full-length and in the forefoot, provides exceptional responsiveness and energy return. This helps players feel quicker on their feet and reduces impact during landings.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during movement
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole or in the tongue area. If the noise persists, ensure the laces are adequately tightened.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Debris and dirt can accumulate, reducing grip. Clean the sole with a brush and damp cloth. If the shoe is heavily worn, the tread may be depleted, affecting performance.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. The shoe may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Check lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose in specific areas.
Suede material appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Protect suede areas from excessive moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for performance on outdoor basketball courts. While comfortable for casual wear, their specific features are optimized for the demands of asphalt and concrete surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn marks on the Leno-weave and suede, a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft brush can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoe.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush to remove any debris caught in the outsole grooves. A damp cloth can be used for general cleaning.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the materials.
