If you don't get caught with the ball, you get caught with new shoes. Jordan Brand is back with a new generation of footwear designed for players who defy the rules of physics with their movements – and if that describes anyone perfectly, it's Luka Dončić. The Luka 5 isn't just a shoe. It's a statement. It's an ally. And maybe even a secret weapon for anyone who dares to steal the show on the court.
Luke 5: When changing direction becomes an art
New silhouette in Doncics The line is made for "shifty" players - those who don't need speed to disappear from the defender's sight, but just a moment and a good angle. Luke 5 They enable this: with an incredible sense of ground, stability during rapid changes of direction, and technologies that read like a list from a science fiction series – except that everything is here. for real it works.
What's hiding under the hood (read: under the sole)
Okay, enough romance – let's get concrete:
-
- Zoom Strobel over the entire length – a first in his line. More responsive, more explosive. Luka says it gives him “extra pop” – we say it’s like a turbo button under the heel.
- ISOband – a newly designed control strap that hugs the foot like a ninja grip, but without the blisters.
- ISOplate – technology that keeps your foot stable, even when you move like a butterfly but sting like a wasp.
- Cushion 3.0 – soft yet responsive core for uncompromising comfort.
- HART rubber and all-over herringbone pattern – a grip that stops even the most aggressive moves before they even start.
All this in low-top a design that brings your foot closer to the ground, making it feel like you're playing barefoot - if your bare soles were equipped with the most advanced technology on the planet.
Luke says…
Venom color combination: if you're going to play venom, make it look like this too
First impression? Color combination Venom – an illusory green mixed with black accents – is a pure “look at me now” moment. Not subtle, but exactly as it should be. Because if they don’t notice you for your game, they will for your shoes.
When and where?
Luke 5 are available from January 8 on jordan.com and at select retailers. But be warned – if you're thinking of procrastinating, you'll be left without. Because once they're sold out, the only thing left is regret. And an old model.
Conclusion: You don't need to be Luka to play like Luka
Luka Dončić It may play like it's cheating physics, but with the Luka 5 you finally have the chance to do just that. The shoes are built for confident floor dominance—exactly what your crossovers need. It's not a miracle. But it's pretty close.
