Just story I thought I’d share. I was playing in a tennis tournament wearing my infrared PF lows and someone came up to me and asked how I liked wearing 36s for tennis. We got to chatting and he eventually told me his name was Tate and he was the lead designer on the 36 and a bunch of other models over the years. He works for Wilson now as head of footwear.

Good stuff. Did he say why he left? I would have had questions like : do they still product test shoes? Like how did the 31, which he was the lead designer on get the okay with that terrible traction? Or the 38’s with the X-plate issue. Like when you have a good performance shoe, but people are seeing the same issue across the board. What’s the feeling within the brand? No one in testing, if they still do it, experience any X-Plate issues? Why do they like using clear outsoles so much? To what extent do they value this website when making decisions? Etc.

Tate Kuerbis. Was at JB for a long time. That would have been an awesome convo.

He didn’t. We chatted about shoes for a bit and he asked why I like the 36s for tennis and I explained why but he didn’t really offer up too much insight as to what went into the design or why he left. I just said if you make a shoe with some bounce at Wilson I’ll demo them. Extremely nice and he said he sent some pictures of me playing to some of his friends at Jordan brand but didn’t seem like he wanted to chat about Nike/jordan very much and I didn’t want to be annoying. The conversation caught me off guard so I wasn’t really prepped for it lol.

It was my first time playing in 36s yesterday. I played in the infrared lows. They felt amazing! after an hour, for some reason I start to remember all the chatter here about the fact that they are pinky killers... 2 minutes later, I felt the burn in my pinky... Had to change to my lebron 16s. I wonder if .5 would solve the issue, I got those in outlets for cheap and didn't have 12.5

my pinky is fine. I'm half-size up. they are not like the GT Jumps which for me are pinky killers.

Mo Wagner playing in the 36 year of the tiger PE last night, they're such a beautiful shoe... a few of you have them here, I'm so jealous

Late pick up, received these yesterday, not sure how I’ll pull them off

23 definitely!
28 probably so since there were so few available at the time, but too many zoom bags popping so they'd have re-engineer a bit and I'm not sure the boot-like style would stick with people though, so 50-50 on those
29 SHOULD be retroed just because performance
31 protroed with new outsole
32 only if they do the OG 2 wht/blk color they never gave us!!
33 white Digi-camo as worn by Lamarcus Aldridge, I still dream about those and they're the best 33 by far in my opinion
34 that even a question?lol
34 low white/cement/red sample they never gave us for some reason!?!
35 only if they release them with the teeth and the OG V look like the players wore BUT they should absolutely do it
36 same as 34, no doubt!
37 might not have been popular but I'd get at least the players ed with the peaks if they somehow wanna finally make up for it with their long time Jordans fans
38 mids Bugs PE's and the Playoffs mids if they don't ever release in first place. Now that the 39's have been unveiled, every day that goes by, chances for them are getting slim to none unfortunately.

I wear 36s for Tennis too!

Me too, 7, 11, 35 and 37 low too.

Picked up a pair of 36s from the outlets. the infrared PF with the XDR outsole just for tennis. I hate the way tennis shoes feel and prefer the feel of a hoop shoe.
