Luka Doncic has had a busy offseason. Instead of spending his summer lounging on Melrose or Rodeo Drive, the new Laker took off for a world tour after spending time in a small town in Croatia locked in the gym to get in shape and prove a certain Dallas GM wrong. Jordan must've seen the work he's putting in because the latest colorway of the Luka 4 comes with great expectations.
Dropping ahead of the season, the newest Luka 4 has been dubbed the "White Cement" for its clear callback to the Jordan 4 of the same name. Debuting in 1989 and retroed to endless hype, the White Cement 4 is an iconic Jordan, and with Luka on his fourth signature Jordan model getting set to start his first full season in gold and purple, I think it's safe to say we're all expecting an iconic year from Luka on the horizon.
With an official color palette of White/Bright Crimson-Black-Wolf Grey, the Luka 4 White Cement surrounds a black tongue and toebox with white/grey accents on both sides and a strip of classic Jordan cement print on the lateral midsole. The cement treatment isn't heavy-handed, but it is unmistakable. Crimson hits complete the shoe, with bright red hits on the Luka tongue logo and Jumpman logos on the lateral heel and toe box.
Outside of the classic Jordan colorway, the White Cement Luka 4 has a couple of Luka-specific flares, with three stars to represent the Slovenian flag printed in the back of the heel and a heart graphic on the insole.
Jordan Brand has been bringing the classics back for its signature athletes in a big way this summer. In addition to Luka's White Cement 4, Zion Williamson is also on his fourth Jordan pro model, and his latest Zion 4 saw its own white cement motif, complete with infrared and an icy blue sole.
The Jordan Luka 4 "White Cement" releases on August 14, 2025, through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. In men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $145.
