Lightweight Training Shoes

The Jordan Jeter Cut Sneaker is Lighter, Faster and More Comfortable

The Jordan Jeter Cut is Derek Jeter's 10th signature Nike shoe model, and this lightweight trainer is the best of the bunch, according to senior footwear designer Octavio Lubrano of Jordan Brand.

Using Nike Free technology, the Jordan Jeter Cut shoe enables feet to move more freely and naturally than in traditional cross-trainers. Its collar has a 5/8 cut, and designers looked to reduce weight in the shoe wherever possible. Multidirectional rubber traction patterns with diamond nubs and diamond herringbone ensure athletes can train well on a multitude of surfaces.

The Jordan Jeter Cut also offers lateral and medial foot stability, which lets athletes make sharp, agile cuts and plant their feet suddenly in a manner that's far easier than previous trainers.
