FAQs

What is Formula 23 foam?

Formula 23 foam is Jordan Brand's proprietary cushioning technology, designed to offer a balance of responsiveness and impact protection, particularly engineered for basketball-specific movements.

Are these trainers suitable for outdoor play?

Yes, the trainers are designed for both indoor and outdoor court use. The engineered upper and durable materials provide resilience for various court surfaces.

How do the Flight Wire cables work?

Flight Wire cables are integrated into the upper and function like support beams. When the laces are tightened, these cables wrap around the foot, providing a secure and contained fit.

What is the main benefit of the stabilizing plate?

The stabilizing plate, located under the foam, enhances the shoe's quickness and responsiveness. It helps to keep your foot agile during rapid directional changes, such as Euro-steps.

What kind of support does the rubber wrap offer?

The rubber wrap is built for ankle support, complementing the overall design to provide stability and confidence, especially when executing moves like the step-back jumper.

How long does it typically take to break in these trainers?

Break-in times can vary per individual, but generally, a few hours of on-court activity or several practice sessions should suffice for the materials to adapt to your foot shape and movement.

Can I wear these trainers for casual activities?

While they offer comfort and advanced technology, these trainers are specifically engineered for basketball performance. For prolonged casual wear, other footwear might be more suitable due to the specialized fit and support features.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or snug

Allow for a break-in period of several on-court sessions. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly without overtightening. If discomfort persists after the break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate.

Reduced traction on court

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that can accumulate. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry.

Cushioning feels too firm initially

The Formula 23 foam is designed for responsiveness and may feel firmer until broken in. Use the trainers for a few practice sessions to allow the foam to adapt to your foot's movement.

Foot sliding inside the trainer

Ensure the laces are tied securely, utilizing the Flight Wire cables for a locked-down fit. Check that the socks you are wearing provide adequate grip and are the correct thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor and outdoor basketball courts. The specialized traction is optimized for court surfaces.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Jordan Luka .77 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the trainers 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.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Laundering: Do not machine wash or machine dry these trainers. This can compromise the structural integrity and materials.
