FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?

These trainers are primarily designed for indoor court performance. Extended use on rough outdoor surfaces can lead to premature wear of the outsole and cushioning.

How do I clean the 'Sidewalk Chalk' colorway?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

Lifespan varies based on usage frequency, intensity, and playing surface. With proper care and primarily indoor use, they should provide reliable performance for a typical basketball season.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, the Air Jordan Tatum 3 series aims for a true-to-size fit. However, individual foot shape can affect perceived fit. It's recommended to check sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.

What type of cushioning is used in this shoe?

The Air Jordan Tatum 3 typically features responsive cushioning technologies designed to provide comfort and impact protection during athletic movements.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. If tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Periodically clean the outsole to remove dust and debris buildup.

Discomfort after wearing

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort continues, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type, or it may require more time to break in.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and scuff marks. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
