Luka .77 'Bloodline'

These sneakers were the perfect kicks for my son for back to school. These are his first pair of Nike shoes and he loves them. Not only are they fashionable and trendy for a 9 year old, but they’re also super comfortable. So far they’ve held up pretty well. It’s going to take proper cleaning to keep them in good shape, though. The design of the shoe will be perfect for his upcoming basketball season, as they’re pretty light while also providing excellent support. These shoes were pretty much true to size. The laces are a little short, and are a bit tricky for him to tie on his own. Lacing them a different way would provide some extra length, so that’s an easy adjustment for anyone who needs more length on the laces. Overall we are happy with the shoes and are the quality we would expect from Nike/Jordan.

Our family is a group of casual basketball players, which means we play hoops in front of our house and sometimes with friends. We’re not competitive players. The design of the shoe is very attractive and gender neutral. I can see both males and females wearing this design - in fact, I had shoes with the same color scheme in college, and I am a female. The shoes are not bulky and don’t make your feet look like clown feet, which is a big plus for people that may have wider or larger feet. However, it is very difficult to initially push the foot in! It takes, perhaps, a good minute to get the right foot in. But once the feet are in, it’s comfortable and roomy. I think Nike has to create a wider opening (it was still tight despite loosening the laces), especially to accommodate wider feet. In terms of feel and functionality, it provides a lot of stability and comfort while running, pivoting, and jumping. This makes a huge difference if you have weaker ankles and you need extra support. The shoes have a little bit of platform so you feel slightly elevated from the cushion, which is a nice feeling. The fabric and materials are also on the thicker side so it doesn’t feel cheap. A lot of sneakers nowadays are thin and flimsy, but I can tell these will last longer due to its hardier construction and materials. Overall, I recommend these shoes to someone with narrower feet that’s willing to invest a little more money into a higher quality product.

These shoes are for my daughter who wears size 4. The fit is true to size. The look is catchy - beautiful color combination with an equally attractive design. The fabric is breathable which is one of the top criterion for my daughter while selecting her shoes for outdoor activities. These are very comfortable to wear and walk. However, she felt it can have a little more cushion to provide her more support while jumping. She also wished the laces were a bit longer so that it would be easier for her to tie.
