Product Information
Full details
These Jordan Luka trainers are designed for adult male athletes seeking speed, efficiency, and an ultra-supportive fit, especially for players who utilize a step-back move. The key benefit is enhanced agility and containment during play, thanks to the full-length Formula 23 foam and Flight Wire cables.

FAQs
What makes the Formula 23 foam special?
Formula 23 foam is designed to be lightweight and responsive, providing cushioning and energy return to help athletes move efficiently and explosively.
How do the Flight Wire cables enhance performance?
The embroidered Flight Wire cables act like suspension bridges for your feet, wrapping around the upper to provide a secure, contained, and locked-down feel during intense lateral movements and cuts.
Are these shoes suitable for players who don't do a lot of step-backs?
While optimized for the step-back, the overall cushioning, responsiveness, and support features benefit all players. However, the specialized ankle support and traction might be more pronounced for those who utilize that specific move.
Can these trainers be worn for everyday casual use?
Yes, they can be worn for casual use, but their design is focused on athletic performance. For maximum longevity and to benefit from their specialized features, they are best suited for basketball activities.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper incorporates embroidered Flight Wire cables for containment, integrated with other materials designed for durability and breathability.
How should I clean the foam cushioning?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the foam midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.
This is normal for performance footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Traction feels reduced on dusty courts.
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or use a brush to remove accumulated dust. Periodically cleaning the soles will help maintain optimal grip.
Ankle support feels restrictive for certain movements.
The specialized ankle support is designed for specific actions like the step-back. If it feels constricting for your typical movements, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide adequate comfort without sacrificing necessary lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before engaging in athletic activity.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts, they can also be used for outdoor play, though prolonged use on abrasive surfaces may affect durability. They are suitable for adult athletes across various positions, with a particular benefit for guards and players who utilize a step-back motion.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Jordan Luka trainers, clean them after each use.
- Wipe Down: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and midsole.
- Soles: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or cloth to remove court debris that could affect traction.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve their shape and material integrity.
