Product Information
Full details
The Jordan Luka Trainers are designed for adult male athletes seeking speed, efficiency, and secure containment during play. Their key benefit is the responsive cushioning and supportive fit, enabling quick movements and confident shots. A potential caveat is that the specialized design, particularly for step-backs, may require adjustment for different play styles. Key features include full-length Formula 23 foam for responsive support, Flight Wire cables for containment, and a rubber wrap for ankle stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Jordan Luka Trainers are designed with a standard fit. While Flight Wire cables offer containment, players with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides for best results.
How do I clean the Formula 23 foam midsole?
Gently wipe the foam with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution diluted with water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Can these trainers be used for outdoor courts?
Yes, the durable outsole is designed to withstand use on both indoor and outdoor courts. However, frequent outdoor play will lead to faster wear compared to indoor use.
What is the main advantage of the Flight Wire cables?
The Flight Wire cables provide a secure, locked-in feel by wrapping around the midfoot and upper, enhancing stability and containment during quick, lateral movements.
Is the ankle support wrap rigid?
The rubber wrap is designed to complement ankle support rather than being a rigid brace. It works in conjunction with the lacing system and overall shoe structure to provide stability.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers with regular use?
With proper care and consistent basketball play, the lifespan can vary, but the durable materials and construction are intended to last through a full season or more for many athletes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few light sessions. Ensure laces are not overtightened initially. If persistent discomfort occurs after break-in, consider if the size is appropriate.
Reduced grip on the court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. Court conditions can affect traction; clean the soles with a damp cloth if necessary.
Ankle feels unsupported
Double-check that the laces are secured properly through all eyelets, utilizing the ankle support features. Ensure the shoe fits correctly in length and width.
Material creasing or stiffness
This is normal with leather materials and break-in. Avoid excessive bending or folding when storing. Consistent wear will help the materials conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before engaging in athletic activity.
Compatibility: Optimized for basketball courts (indoor/outdoor). While comfortable for casual wear, their design is performance-focused.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Material Care: The leather upper may benefit from occasional conditioning to maintain its suppleness, following product-specific leather care guidelines.
