Jordan Luka 5

[Kobekobe]

3rd to last day at the 3rd LA Fitness court to close/be pulled out for a cross training area in just over two years, the sport has social cancer and is being removed due to that, anyway as far the Luka’s are concerned they’re not bad but they feel somewhat hollow in the forefoot, the sole feels like it was engineered for double stacked zoom in the front, not bad 7/10, guard shoe(I’m a big).

Which ones being shut down?

The sport has social cancer?

Some knuckleheads at that LA Fitness always arguing? What does "social cancer" mean? Also that sucks. A long time ago there was a new la fitness coming and I kept hounding them about if it would have a basketball court and they just led me on and on forever and when it finally opened, well of course there wasnt one

I play pick up ball here and there and man is so different. The games I play end up being longer than the normal due to everyone wanting to capture the moment instead of living in the moment.

I’ve got fights I have to pull apart every game and regular gun threats.

I like this shoe looks wise. Haven’t had time to see them out in the wild. Hopefully that all green viper colorway is still attainable at retail.

I think Kiki Rice was in the black/green colorway today vs Maryland

Basketball courts all over are being replaced by more “gym equipment” or pickleball courts. It’s definitely a situation where people don’t want to deal with a certain “element” and what comes with it.

Got my Viper Edges in. I went TTS and while they're a bit tight it's a comfortable tight. I'm looking forward to testing them on court. The only thing I find weird are the laces. They are the cheap ones Nike/Jordan have been including - but the .77s have better quality laces. It's disappointing because one of the laces looks like it going to start fraying soon.

I still think the Luka 1 is the best

man cant front....(i didnt get the 40s) these imo are the best hoop shoes out now. Full zoom and cushlon cant be beat. KD line was my go to until they changed the setup. these will replace

You don’t have issues with the fit?

The narrowness in the forefoot with that plastic TPU cage on the side digging into the side of your foot?

And the way too shallow length to the toe box?

Your toes should never be directly pushed up against the end of the shoe. If you stop on a dime (Luka’s whole game) your toes are getting slammed

The 4 easily. Fit and aesthetics. If it had the 5’s tech and feeling underfoot, it would be heavenly

went up half size and it s perfect for me. it like what the kd line was but without the narrow fit....only issue i have is the traction. constantly wiping

Hope they do a Laker colorway or more.

Back in Bordeauxs tonight

 

[kingjay718]

Pulled the trigger on the all green ones. Looking forward to getting them on feet and in the gym. Luka got one here.

I tried on the V's the other day and they're nice. Comfortable and the fit were nice, I'll get a pair when they're on sale.

And they were 1/2 size up.

I want those
