The Air Jordan 40 is built to elevate your game on the basketball court. The combination of ZoomX foam and a full-length Zoom Strobel unit underfoot means you get a highly responsive feel that absorbs impact effectively while returning energy for quick jumps and sprints. Imagine driving to the basket: the cushioning propels you, while the 40-degree herringbone traction bites into the court, allowing for sharp cuts and pivots without slipping. The 360-degree zonal webbing upper works in tandem with the lacing system to wrap your foot securely, minimizing movement inside the shoe during intense lateral shifts and ensuring you feel connected to every step. This makes it ideal for players who demand agility, stability, and explosive power in their footwear. Off-court, its classic design with eco-leather and suede and minimalist branding ensures it looks just as good with casual attire, offering comfort for daily wear thanks to its advanced cushioning.
Proper Sizing: Ensure you select the correct UK size for adult footwear. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for court activities.
Lacing: Utilize the full lacing system, including any top eyelets, to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The integrated webbing straps are designed to work with the laces for optimal lockdown. Adjust lacing tension to prevent heel slip while allowing forefoot flexibility.
These shoes are optimized for basketball and court-based sports where rapid changes in direction, jumping, and quick acceleration are key.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor court surfaces, though performance and durability may vary slightly depending on the surface and frequency of use.
Can be worn for casual daily use due to their comfort and stylish design.
Cleaning: For the eco-leather and suede upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for these materials can be used, following product instructions.
Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the herringbone traction pattern to maintain optimal grip.
Drying: Air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape over time.
