These were a solid performer at a very good price. My favorite part was the cushion and overall the Jordan React Elevation performed well in every category. Pretty much every position can play in this shoe.

My personal uprgade over Diamond Mid. Comfy, no real break-in was required, Bouncy and offer protection, however, feel a bit stiff in the beginning. Gorgeous shoes overall. Traction is the biggest problem, picks dust quickly, require wiping. I wanted to use them outdoors but it seems that the translucent parts of the outsole won't hold up. Lacing system is a bit weird.

One of my favorite shoes. If only upper materials were better quality, it would have been crazy.

The traction on the React Elevation was really nice. On clean courts, I stopped on a dime I had no issues on dust either!

The traction on the decoupled outsole was really, really good on an outdoor court. I didn't get to try these on an indoor court, but I tried them on my wood floors and I think they'll have great bite indoors.

The React in the heel felt really nice and the forefoot Zoom unit was bouncy with good impact protection. The combo of these two felt great and I enjoyed this cushion setup.

The textile material on the upper was a little stiff, but felt supportive. The materials were also surprisingly very minimal and thin.

The support was good on these. I felt really supported and had no instabilities while playing. If these are supportive enough for Luka Doncic, then I think they will hold up well for you.

The lateral containment and stability were really good. Very little ankle support, but I felt slightly restricted because it does come up slightly up to my ankle. Support and lockdown was not an issue at all.
