FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for indoor basketball?
The Air Jordan XXXVI PF is optimized for outdoor courts due to its durable rubber sole. While they can be worn indoors, traction might differ from shoes specifically designed for indoor play.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying and brushing.
What is the main benefit of the Zoom Air cushioning?
The Zoom Air cushioning, particularly the full-length Strobel unit and forefoot unit, provides exceptional responsiveness and energy return, making movements feel more explosive and reducing impact.
How durable is the rubber sole?
The rubber sole is designed to be highly durable and is specifically engineered to withstand the abrasive nature of outdoor courts.
Is this shoe suitable for casual wear?
Yes, while designed for performance, the Air Jordan XXXVI PF also features a stylish aesthetic that makes it suitable for casual wear for basketball enthusiasts.
What does 'PF' stand for in the shoe name?
PF stands for 'Performance'', indicating a fit and features optimized for basketball performance, often with a slightly wider fit than standard 'EP' (Engineered Performance) versions.
How do I break in these basketball shoes?
Wear them for a few light activities or practice sessions. The cushioning will become more responsive and the materials will adapt to your foot shape over a short period.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. If playing indoors, understand that the outdoor-focused sole may perform differently than an indoor-specific shoe.
Cushioning feels too firm initially.
The Zoom Air units may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for a few practice sessions to allow them to mold to your foot and activate the cushioning.
Suede material looks dirty or scuffed.
Gently clean the suede with a suede brush. For more significant marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry, followed by brushing.
Laces are difficult to tie securely.
Ensure the webbed eyelets are clear of obstructions. Double-knot the laces for added security during intense play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Air Jordan XXXVI PF comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. Lace them up snugly using the 3M interwoven laces, adjusting to your preferred level of tightness for a secure fit.
Compatibility:
This shoe is specifically designed for outdoor basketball courts. While playable on indoor courts, its outsole traction pattern and rubber compound are optimized for the abrasive surfaces typically found outdoors. It is intended for adult male players.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and performance of your Air Jordan XXXVI PF:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the Leno-weave, nubuck, and suede materials. For stubborn dirt on suede, a suede brush can be used gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean debris from the rubber outsole. Ensure the grooves are free from stones or dirt that could affect traction.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid 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 when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
