Luka 5

The Jordan Luka 5 shoes are court performance and reliability all rolled into one package. The cushioning technology creates a soft air pocket under the feet which delivers a spring like feel when moving across the court. I would typically experience pain in the ankles and arches of my feet when using basketball shoes with traditional Strobel boards. The new air zoom feature greatly reduces the pain while delivering high responsiveness during rapid movements. You practically stick to the court providing the ultimate traction control experience while maintaining stability. I was pleasantly surprised when I was also able to wear these shoes on the track as well for extended periods of time with little to no discomfort. These shoes are designed with synthetic leather material making them extremely light weight. At times, it almost feels as if I have nothing on my feet which I greatly appreciate. The size is also accurate as I wear a size 9 men’s shoe. Aside from functionality, these shoes look fast standing still and are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The versatility of these shoes is amazing and even look cool under a pair of jeans for a night out. If I had to give a negative comment on these shoes, they have a very narrow fit which would need to be broken in a bit. I would typically prefer a slightly wider shoe, however I was able to overcome this with use. Personally, I love these shoes and the benefits they provide. See the results for yourself and give these a try!

The Luka 5s absorb hard landings without issue but still give a bouncy return when needed. I’ve played a few casual pickup games with them and they started out slightly stiff but have held up well so far. I think it’s sharp looking shoe, especially in black!

When I wear a lot of other basketball shoes, my heel is always slipping, and it feels like my foot doesn't have traction on the court. With these Luca Fives, I am over the moon about the quality of the craftsmanship behind the shoe and just how well it locks in my heel (so I can actually be effective in moving side to side and forward and back). Not only that, but they have great traction for when I'm jumping and landing. I've had issues with slipping when I'm landing, and I haven't had a single issue with these shoes. Overall, I literally couldn't rate them any higher. They're awesome basketball shoes.
