Product Information
Full details
Designed for athletes seeking speed and efficiency on the court, the Jordan Luka Trainers offer an ultra-supportive fit and responsive cushioning. While they excel in providing containment and quickness for dynamic movements like the step-back, some users might find the initial break-in period requires adjustment. Key features include full-length Formula 23 foam, embroidered Flight Wire cables for secure lockdown, and a specialised rubber wrap for ankle support and efficient traction.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for players with wide feet?
The Jordan Luka Trainers are designed with a standard fit. While the Flight Wire cables offer adjustability, players with significantly wide feet may want to try them on first or consider sizing up if available.
How does the Formula 23 foam compare to other cushioning technologies?
Formula 23 foam is engineered for a balance of responsiveness and impact absorption, providing a lively feel that supports quick movements without sacrificing comfort during hard landings.
Can I use these trainers for running or cross-training?
While the cushioning is advanced, these trainers are specifically optimized for basketball movements. For dedicated running or cross-training, sport-specific footwear is generally recommended.
How do I ensure the Flight Wire cables maintain their integrity?
Avoid snagging the Flight Wire cables on sharp objects. Clean them gently with a damp cloth during routine shoe care.
What is the intended use for the ankle support rubber wrap?
The rubber wrap is designed to enhance stability and support around the ankle joint, particularly during the mechanics of a step-back jumper, aiding in confident footwork.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Jordan Luka Trainers generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can be subjective, and it's always advisable to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods during non-strenuous activities to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Traction is inconsistent
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean.
Laces are difficult to secure
Check that the Flight Wire eyelets are clear of debris. Use a double knot for added security.
Foam feels unresponsive after extended use
Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme temperatures which can affect foam performance. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for a few short sessions to allow the materials to mold to your foot for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for basketball and similar court sports. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor court play, though durability may be optimised for indoor surfaces.
Care: To maintain the trainers' performance and appearance:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution with lukewarm water and a clean cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow shoes 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 away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
