Spending the latter half of the 2024-2025 NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Doncic had the entire world watching him as soon as the blockbuster, and frankly absurd, trade from the Dallas Mavericks took place. Never missing a key marketing opportunity, Jordan Brand used the extra attention on Doncic to debut his fourth signature sneaker, the Jordan Luka 4, early on in his Laker career. One of the first colorways shown when JB officially unveiled the shoe is more fitting than ever, as, ironically, Luka Doncic has Gone Fishing.
Although Jordan Brand and Luka weren’t expecting a first-round exit from the playoffs for the Lakers, the Gone Fishing moniker for this Jordan Luka 4 doesn’t come from the playful phrase to describe a player or team who has been eliminated from the postseason. Instead, Luka’s love of fishing is on full display, with the upper taking on a light pink hue accented by bold orange and yellow shades on the midfoot and tongue. Solid black paneling on the tongue, lace set, sockliner, and heel allows the vibrant hues on most of the sneaker to shine.
