Category Performance Ratings
9.3
Traction
Wide herringbone pattern with sticky rubber. Excellent grip on clean courts, very dust resistant and needs little wiping.
8.3
Cushion
Injected Phylon midsole with low-profile Zoom Air in forefoot. Quick and responsive ride with pleasant plushness and solid protection.
8.3
Materials
Soft, flexible synthetic upper that breaks in easily. Not premium looking but strong and durable for a budget shoe.
9.0
Support
Wide flat base with forefoot outrigger and midfoot rollbar. Provides solid stability and good lateral containment for a low-top.
9.0
Fit
Generally true to size with snug, secure lockdown. Heel holds well and forefoot can need a short break-in.
50%
Outdoor
Thick but slightly soft rubber with wide grooves. Handles moderate outdoor play well but will wear faster on rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most. Some find Jordan runs long and prefer half size down; wide feet may need more room.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular widths best. Wider players may feel toe-box tight until the upper breaks in.

For $110 this is a steal! This might be one of the best performance basketball shoes I played in this year.

The Jordan Fly Lockdown is a budget Jordan model that performs like a signature shoe. Works best if you need a stable, low-riding foot rocket.

The Jordan Fly Lockdown doesn't look spectacular but it fits me perfectly and the materials are sturdy and durable. The traction is excellent and works well on dusty courts too.
The cushioning is pretty dead after a while, so probably not the best option if you need a lot of impact protection.

The cushioning is much softer and plushy as you would suspect from a Phylon carrier - we were pleasantly surprised!

The rubber is maybe a little soft, but it's also thick and the grooves are wide which works well outdoors.

The rubber is on the softer side so they won't last forever outdoors.
