After dropping a bunch of big and bold color combos, this season, Luka Dončić is going down a softer, more understated route with the Jordan Luka 4 Light Orewood Brown Tangerine. While this silhouette definitely isn't as hyped as icons like the Air Jordan 1 or the Air Jordan 4, it still deserves its flowers. And if, for whatever reason, you still don’t already have a pair in your rotation, this is definitely worth checking out.
Taking inspiration from the LA Lakers point guard's love for the great outdoors, the first thing you'll notice about this sneaker is the big bear claw that's embroidered around the heel. It's a subtle detail, but one that perfectly ties Luka’s rugged off-court hobbies with his smooth on-court finesse.
Elsewhere, the upper is draped in Light Orewood Brown leather, and it borrows the Flightwire technology from the Luka 1 for unbeatable lockdown comfort. It's also equipped with a flexible IsoPlate to provide enhanced stability and dynamic support through sharp cuts and explosive movements.
Soft pink accents take over the inner lining and tongue, which is proudly emblazoned with Dončić's signature logo. Underfoot, a snappy and responsive Air Zoom unit has been added to the forefoot, helping give you that quick-off-the-ground sensation that guards crave. It's then lined with a bright green rubber outsole so you'll turn heads wherever you go.
The Jordan Luka 4 Light Orewood Brown Tangerine will drop sometime in Fall 2025. It’ll be available via Nike and select global retailers both online and in-store for $130.
