Luka Dončić Debuts His Jordan Luka 2

The Dallas Mavericks season is still alive thanks to outstanding performances by its two stars in Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić in a nail-biting win over the Sacramento Kings yesterday. And during the on-court matchup, the latter hooper decided to treat the sneaker community with a first look at his forthcoming Jordan Luka 2 signature silhouette.

The Slovenian superstar laced up a clean black and purple colorway, and early in-game photos of the pair show off a plethora of its new striking details. Starting out with the build, the shoes are constructed with a slightly higher cut in comparison to its predecessor. According to ESPN writer Nick DePaula, Dončić’s hardwood-ready kicks will be equipped with IsoPlate support and Formula23 cushioning. Technical overlays start beneath the throat and extend on both sides towards the heel where they eventually curve and meet the midsoles. Two molds appear on the midsole unit of this iteration, both of which receive black backdrops and white speckled details. The Mavericks guard’s signature logo is finished with metallic gold on the tongues and accompanied by a tiny Jordan Brand logo above.

More information surrounding its official release will be announced by Jordan Brand in the coming months.

Elsewhere in sneakers, a complete OG Air Jordan 1 collection from 1985 is being auctioned off.
