Overview
- Jordan Brand introduced the Luka 5 with a humor-driven short titled “Bad Luka, Nice Shoes” featuring mock apologies and cameos by Adrian Wojnarowski and Boban Marjanović.
- The model adds a full-length Zoom Strobel to Dončić’s line for the first time, paired with a new ISOband, CushIon 3.0 cushioning, and an ISOplate for underfoot stability.
- Jordan says the setup is designed for 360-degree control, with low-profile court feel and full-length herringbone traction using HART rubber.
- Retail availability begins Jan. 8 on Jordan.com and at select stores, with the “Venom” black-and-green colorway at launch and a “Viper Edge” all-green version listed as coming soon.
- Dončić is day-to-day with a left calf contusion; ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reports the Lakers are targeting a possible Christmas return, and team reports suggest he would likely debut the Luka 5 if he plays.
