“I hit a game-winner in those”: Luka Doncic Recounts Wearing Michael Jordan’s ‘Favorite’ $350 Shoe for Real Madrid

Luka Doncic likes to do things differently. He has been among the league’s most unstoppable players this year and is on the cusp of greatness. At age 23 no less. He is also set to herald the Jordan Brand into the next decade.

But before signing on for Jumpman, Luka was already sporting the shoes. And no, we’re not talking about his fits. He wore them on the court.

Unlike most players who prefer to wear the most modern shoes to hoop in, Luka thought differently. NBA players often choose shoes from this decade because of the sheer leap in technology.

The shoes are more comfortable, they have better cushioning, etc etc. But Luka knows what’s good and if it has MJ’s seal of approval, you can bet it’s a good shoe!

Luka Doncic once hit a game-winner in Air Jordan 11s, Micheal Jordan’s favorite shoes!

The Air Jordan 11s are Michael’s favorite. He has said this time and again and the silhouette and technology incorporated in those shoes still hold up to this day. The shoes are simply a work of art. MJ won his 5th championship wearing those shoes.

Luka Doncic hoped to emulate that feat. While he did win a championship, it wasn’t the NBA championship. It was the Euroleague. Doncic didn’t win it in Air Jordan 11s either. But he is one of the few players to have worn them on the court.

Yes, Doncic was wearing shoes over 2 decades old and worth $350 in a competitive league game. The best part? He even hit a game-winner while wearing those shoes, take a look:

Luka was a phenom at 19

Apart from being bold enough to wear a shoe from 1997 and hit a game-winner as a 19-year-old, Doncic was also the best player on the team. He won the MVP, the Finals MVP, and the championship with Real Madrid that year.

Since then Luka has been on the rise and while he is already in the conversation with one of the best players in the league currently, the sky is the limit.

The story about Luka wearing the AJ 11s and hitting a game-winner was first told on Sneaker Shopping with Complex. Doncic has since hit a bunch of game-winners in the NBA already.
