FAQs

What does 'PF' stand for in Air Jordan 36 PF?

PF stands for 'Performance Fit,' indicating a version of the shoe designed with a slightly wider base and increased volume to accommodate a broader range of athletes' feet.

Is this shoe suitable for outdoor courts?

While durable, the Air Jordan 36 PF is primarily designed for indoor court performance. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces can accelerate wear on the outsole and cushioning.

How should I clean the 'First Light' colorway?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary for the leather. Avoid soaking the shoe. Clean the soles with a brush and water. Always air dry.

What is the primary benefit of the high-top design?

The high-top design provides enhanced ankle support and stability, which is crucial for basketball players during lateral movements and landings.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period can vary. For the leather upper, it might take a few playing sessions for the material to fully conform to your foot shape and provide maximum comfort.

Can this shoe be worn by women?

Yes, the Air Jordan 36 PF is designed with a unisex fit in mind, though the PF sizing may offer a slightly wider base that could be beneficial for various foot types.

What type of cushioning technology is used?

The Air Jordan 36 models typically feature advanced cushioning systems designed for high performance and shock absorption, though specific details may vary by release.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

The leather upper may need a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially. If the tightness persists, consider if the PF (Performance Fit) sizing is suitable for your foot width.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

Ensure the shoe is clean and free from debris. While cushioning is designed for durability, consistent heavy impact will eventually reduce its responsiveness. Proper care can help maintain its integrity.

Leather showing scuffs or marks

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner may help. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Ankle support feels insufficient

Ensure the laces are tied securely, providing adequate lockdown. If further support is needed, consider ankle braces designed for athletic use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. For the PF version, consider if the slightly wider fit suits your foot.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball and athletic activities. Performance may vary on different court surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the leather. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with water and mild soap to clean the rubber components. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  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. Use a shoe tree or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape when not in use.
