FAQs

Are the Air Jordan 40 Trainers suitable for outdoor basketball?

While designed for versatility, consistent use on rough outdoor courts may lead to faster wear on the outsole's herringbone traction pattern compared to indoor use. They can be used outdoors, but indoor courts will maximize their lifespan and performance.

How do I find the correct size for the Air Jordan 40?

These trainers are listed as UK size 8. For the best fit, we recommend trying them on and ensuring there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, with your heel feeling secure and locked down by the internal straps.

Can I machine wash my Air Jordan 40 Trainers?

No, machine washing is strongly discouraged. It can damage the advanced cushioning systems, adhesives, and premium upper materials. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the care section of this guide.

What kind of cushioning technology is used in these trainers?

The Air Jordan 40 features a groundbreaking combination of Nike's superefficient ZoomX foam paired with a full-length Zoom Strobel unit, designed to deliver responsive bounce, explosive energy return, and exceptional comfort.

What materials are the Air Jordan 40 Trainers made from?

The upper is constructed from a blend of premium leather and textile materials, providing durability and support. The outsole is made from durable rubber featuring the unique herringbone traction pattern.

Do I need to 'break in' these trainers before playing in them?

While the Air Jordan 40s are engineered for immediate comfort and performance, a short break-in period of light wear can help the materials and cushioning conform optimally to your unique foot shape for the best possible fit and feel on court.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel like they're slipping inside the shoe during play.

Check your lacing. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly and securely, especially around the midfoot, to fully engage the internal webbing straps and zonal webbing upper. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks designed to prevent slippage.

I'm experiencing less traction on the court than expected.

First, inspect the outsole for dirt or dust buildup, which can reduce grip. Clean the herringbone pattern thoroughly. If the issue persists, evaluate the court surface itself; some surfaces may inherently offer less traction or be excessively dusty. For maximum performance, ensure the outsole is clean before each use.

The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive as when new.

While advanced, cushioning materials can compress over time with heavy use. Ensure the trainers are being used within their intended lifespan. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain material integrity. If the trainers are older and heavily used, natural wear and tear may be a factor.

Upper material is creasing or showing scuffs quickly.

Creasing is a normal characteristic of leather, especially in high-flex areas. Regular cleaning and conditioning (for leather sections) can help maintain flexibility and appearance. To minimize creasing when not in use, store your trainers with shoe trees to help retain their shape. Scuffs can be carefully cleaned with a damp cloth; for deeper scuffs, consult a shoe care specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure you get the most out of your Air Jordan 40 Trainers, follow these guidelines.

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove your trainers from the packaging.
  2. Lacing: Loosen the laces, insert your foot, and then tighten them to your desired snugness. Ensure the internal webbing straps sit comfortably against your foot without causing pressure points.
  3. Initial Fit Check: Walk around briefly to ensure the fit is secure but not overly restrictive. Your toes should have a small amount of wiggle room, and your heel should feel locked in.

Compatibility

  • User: Designed for adult males, specifically UK size 8.
  • Activity: Ideal for basketball and other court sports due to their performance features. Also suitable for casual wear.
  • Surfaces: Excellent on indoor basketball courts. Can be used outdoors, but consistent outdoor use may accelerate wear on the outsole.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Air Jordan 40 Trainers.

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For leather sections, a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner can be used sparingly. For textile areas, a soft-bristled brush can help dislodge dirt.
  2. Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the herringbone traction pattern. This helps maintain optimal grip.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage adhesives, materials, and cushioning.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees (cedar shoe trees are ideal) can help absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's shape.
  5. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can also be placed inside the trainers when not in use.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your Air Jordan 40 Trainers. The high temperatures and harsh cycles can compromise the structural integrity, cushioning, and material quality.
