Since Michael Jordan's AJ1s in the 1980s, Luka Doncic's $110 Signature Sneaker is Making Waves in 2020s

Luka Doncic’s performances are on the cusp of cementing himself as the face of the NBA for the upcoming decade. The Slovenian has constantly elevated his performances year in and year out for the Dallas Mavericks.

Since his arrival in Dallas in 2018, the point guard has certified himself as a superlative player in the league. In the past three years, the 23-year-old has earned himself a rank in the NBA’s annual ‘All NBA First Team’ awards through his dazzling displays.

With these accolades all but sealed every year so far, Doncic has solidified himself as a perennial star in the NBA. Granting him a deal with the popular brand Jordan in 2019, with the chief aspect being a signature shoe.

The time had finally arrived when Doncic’s signature shoes were released, and suffice it to say, the sneaker hasn’t disappointed. Having teased the release last spring, Doncic’s shoe was released in September and is on course to create history.

Luka Doncic to create history with signature sneaker!

Doncic’s signature pair-the ‘Jordan Luka 1‘ has been an immense success. The Dallas Mavericks star has his counterparts in the league sporting them, as well as reputed college athletes, who have been handed their own pairs of the majestic sneaker.

In the 1984/1985 campaign, Michael Jordan was introduced to the Air Jordans. It was revealed to the public in April 1985. Since then, the six-time NBA champion has certified himself as a billionaire, building on the success of his first pair of sneakers.

Jordan’s clientele includes Dallas Mavericks talisman Luka Doncic, who recently had his first signature shoe released. And just as they were left in awe and bedazzled by Jordan’s first pair of sneakers, the same pattern looks to be set afoot with Doncic.

The Slovenian is on course to matching Jordan as the most successful first signature shoe since His Airness’s first pair.

Doncic’s signature pair is the first pair of shoes with full-length Formula 23 foam. Additionally, it comes with strong and lightweight Flight Wire cables that provide maximum support

The most notable factor about the pair is its durable traction pattern, which enables players to use the shoes on an indoor as well as the outdoor court. A true game-changer.

Luka Doncic’s career year!

In retrospect, had the shoe been released around Christmas or anytime recently, it might have riveted consumers even more now, given his colossal performances. Although it has been a tremendous success, Doncic’s latest games have taken fans aback.

Taking into consideration his game-defining style of play, which has enabled him to enhance his abilities this year, Doncic’s sneaker would have received the applause of numerous more supporters.

Nonetheless, if he continues on the same path of destruction, best believe there will be at least another five to ten signature shoes waiting in store for Luka Doncic’s supporters.
