Just before the official rollout of Luka Doncic’s latest signature sneaker, the Jordan Luka 4, the Slovenian superstar was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. Even though this news shook the basketball landscape, Jordan Brand saw this as the perfect opportunity to debut the Luka 4 with all the extra eyes on Doncic. Alongside his mainline signature sneaker, Luka is also launching an outdoor hoops-inspired takedown model, the Luka .77, which will debut in the Space Navigator colorway.
Luka’s love for low-top silos continues here, with the sneaker taking on a simple layered construction featuring mesh on the base, reinforced heavy-duty canvas near the toe and eyelets, and finally, suede panels above all of this also on the toe and eyelets. More mesh is located along the tongue in black to match the suede and canvas panels, while pops of pink appear on the Luka logo, TPU eyelet, heel tab, and sockliner. Contrasting these two hues are solid hits of white on the base layer and heel overlay.
Even though this is technically a takedown model, the technology within the sneaker isn’t far off from the mainline Luka 4. Here, the same IsoPlate, which has become a mainstay in the Luka series, is embedded into the toe and midfoot. At the same time, the full-length dual-density foam midsole combines a firm outer layer and a softer, more responsive foam on the inside. Alongside this is an Air Zoom unit in the forefoot and a grippy, outdoor court-ready traction pattern on the outsole.
The Jordan Luka .77 Space Navigator will release alongside the first Jordan Luka 4 on April 4, 2025, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $100. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
