Jordan Fly Lockdown Review

Pros:
Traction works well on dusty courts
Affordable price
Cons:
Budget materials

Performance of the Jordan Fly Lockdown:

The Jordan Fly Lockdown is one of the pleasant surprises of 2018. At a list price of only $110, it's a very affordable shoe that provides top-notch performance. The herringbone traction picks up very little dust and works exceptionally well in all directions. The mix of Phylon and Zoom cushioning feels low and quick without sacrificing impact protection. The budget materials don't look great but work very well and provide very good lockdown. Overall, if you are looking for a good performance basketball shoe at a fair price, then you can't go wrong with Jordan Fly Lockdown!

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 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!
 More details
Lightweight Phylon midsole and forefoot Zoom session provides a great balance between impact protection and responsiveness.
 More details
Zoom Air and injected Phylon feels low and quick with no impact problems at all.

The material is soft and breaks-in easily. Overall, the material is not very premium, but for a budget model it gets the job done!
 More details
The materials look rather cheap but they are strong and flexible and surprisingly good!
 More details
The form-fitting upper flexes in all the right ways but holds solid where it needs to.

I didn't have any lateral containment issues or heel slip.
 More details
Wide and flat base with a super smooth transition and great mid-foot support. I would have like a more pronounced lateral outrigger.
 More details
The wide and solid base, forefoot outrigger and midfoot rollbar provide solid support for a low top. 4

The rubber is maybe a little soft, but it's also thick and the grooves are wide which works well outdoors.
 More details
The rubber is on the softer side so they won't last forever outdoors.
 More details
If the court isn’t extremely rough, you should be good for a summer of play.

For me, Jordan Brand shoes tend to run a little long so I went down half a size.

As for length and sizing, definitely stay true-to-size unless you are super-wide.
