FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
The Jordan Luka 1 'Reverse Orca' trainers are primarily designed for indoor court performance. While durable, outdoor surfaces can cause accelerated wear on the outsole and cushioning.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, typically aligning your foot measurement with the corresponding UK size. These trainers are designed for a performance fit, which should be snug.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the main advantage of the 'Reverse Orca' design?
The 'Reverse Orca' colorway offers a distinctive and stylish aesthetic. The shoe's primary advantage, however, is its performance-focused construction, including non-slip and wear-resistant features for basketball.
Are these trainers good for players with wide feet?
The fit is designed for performance and may be snug. Players with wider feet might find them restrictive. It is advisable to try them on if possible or research reviews specifically addressing fit for wider feet.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers with regular use?
With proper care and regular use on a basketball court, the lifespan can vary, but the wear-resistant materials are intended to provide good durability. Typically, performance basketball shoes are expected to last through a season or more of consistent play.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on court
Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and court residue. Ensure the court surface is also clean.
Slight stiffness during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods during non-intensive activities to break them in gradually. Consistent use on the court will help them mold to your foot.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with lock laces if this is a persistent issue.
Discomfort in the arch area
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the laces are adjusted properly. If persistent, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for better arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first game or practice. It's recommended to wear athletic socks for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts. While the durable construction offers some versatility, they are optimized for the specific demands of hardwood surfaces. Not recommended for trail running or rough outdoor terrain.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Jordan Luka 1 'Reverse Orca' trainers:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the exterior with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and excessive light.
- Sole Care: Periodically check the sole for any embedded debris and clean gently.
