FAQs

What kind of cushioning technology is in the Air Jordan 40?

The Air Jordan 40 features a groundbreaking combination of Nike's ZoomX foam with a full-length Zoom Strobel unit, designed to provide superior cushioning and explosive responsiveness.

How do I best clean the suede material on my Air Jordan 40s?

For suede, it's best to use a specialized suede brush and eraser for light dirt and scuffs. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaner following its instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?

While the 40-degree herringbone traction performs well, frequent use on abrasive outdoor courts can accelerate wear on the outsole and may make the suede upper more prone to damage. They are optimized for indoor courts.

What is the purpose of the zonal webbing upper?

The 360-degree zonal webbing upper, combined with six internal straps, is designed to provide optimal foot containment and lockdown. This ensures your foot stays secure during quick cuts and lateral movements, enhancing stability and support.

Will the Air Jordan 40 provide good ankle support?

Yes, the advanced containment system with zonal webbing and internal straps works to hold your foot securely, which contributes significantly to overall stability and support around the ankle during dynamic movements.

Is the Jordan Air Jordan 40 true to size?

Info needed: Most users generally find Jordan footwear to be true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the performance-oriented design.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel like they're sliding inside the shoe.

Ensure your laces are properly tightened, utilizing all eyelets. The zonal webbing and internal straps need to be engaged by a snug fit. If the issue persists, consider trying different sock thicknesses.

The traction feels less effective than expected.

Check the outsole for dirt or dust buildup, which can reduce grip. Clean the traction pattern thoroughly with a damp cloth and a soft brush. For heavily worn soles, traction can diminish over time, especially with frequent outdoor use.

The suede upper looks dull or has minor scuffs.

Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For scuffs, a suede eraser can often lift marks. For deeper cleaning, consult a specialized suede cleaning product.

The shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like many performance shoes, the Air Jordan 40 may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot. Ensure proper sizing and lacing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unrivaled cushioning and responsiveness for dynamic play.
  • Exceptional foot lockdown and stability for aggressive movements.
  • Aggressive traction pattern provides superior grip on various court surfaces.
  • Stylish design with iconic Jordan aesthetics.
  • Built with high-quality materials for durability and comfort.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Jordan Air Jordan 40 involves proper fit, understanding its intended use, and maintaining its premium materials.

Initial Setup

  1. Sizing: Ensure you select the correct UK size 11 (or your equivalent). Try them on with the type of socks you'd typically wear for play or casual use to get the most accurate fit.
  2. Lacing: Utilize the full lacing system. The six internal webbing straps are designed to work in conjunction with your laces to provide optimal lockdown. Experiment with lacing tension to find the balance between snug support and comfort.

Compatibility

  • Playing Surface: The aggressive herringbone traction pattern is optimized for indoor court surfaces (e.g., hardwood) but will perform well on outdoor courts too. However, frequent outdoor use may accelerate wear on the sole.
  • Activity: Primarily designed for basketball and high-impact athletic activities, but its comfort and style also make it suitable for general casual wear and lifestyle purposes.

Product Care

Due to the suede upper material, special care is required to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Air Jordan 40s:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a soft-bristled brush or a suede eraser to gently lift dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Deeper Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth or brush, following the product instructions. Avoid excessive moisture.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Avoid Washing Machine: Never put suede shoes in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can severely damage the material and construction.
  6. Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the outsole and midsole. A soft brush can help dislodge dirt from the traction pattern.
