What to know
Jordan Brand has unveiled the Luka 5, the latest signature shoe for Luka Dončić designed for players who rely on shifty movement, sudden deceleration and multi-directional bursts. The silhouette keeps a low-to-the-court profile for traction and responsiveness while adding new propulsion and control features to suit Luka’s step-back jumper and Euro step.
Design and tech highlights
The Luka 5 pairs a full-length Zoom Strobel unit with a plush CushIon 3.0 midsole to deliver both pop and a comfortable underfoot ride. For the first time in Luka’s line, the Zoom Strobel runs the length of the shoe, offering extra propulsion for quick bursts and stop-start play.
Jordan also introduced an integrated ISOband to enhance midfoot lockdown and directional push-off. Underfoot stability comes from the signature ISOplate, engineered to act like a supportive tendon during lateral cuts. A full-length herringbone traction pattern and HART rubber help players plant and brake with confidence on indoor courts.
The Luka 5 keeps a low, close-to-court stance to boost court feel and grip. Torsional rigidity is focused on propulsion zones in the heel and forefoot, delivering a stable platform without sacrificing mobility. The first colorway, Venom, pairs illusion green with black accents for a bold look on and off the floor.
Luka on the Luka 5
“Working with Jordan Brand on the Luka 5 was about making something that fits my game and keeps evolving with me,” Luka Dončić said. “The full-length Zoom Strobel and ISOband give me that extra pop and control so I can attack from any spot on the floor. Every time I lace them up, I know I’m ready to go.”

Who it’s for
The Luka 5 is aimed at guards and wings who value court connection, quick deceleration and the ability to change direction on a dime. Its mix of responsiveness and stability makes it a fit for players who need a balance of propulsion and control for isolation moves, step-backs and tight perimeter defense.
Availability and price
Jordan Brand’s Luka 5 will be available on January 8 at jordan.com and at select retail locations. Expect multiple colorways beyond the Venom release, targeting both performance players and sneaker collectors.
Quick take
The Luka 5 doubles down on what made Luka’s previous models popular — court feel, maneuverability and a locked-in fit — while introducing the full-length Zoom Strobel and ISOband for added pop and control. For players who get shifty on the court, the Luka 5 promises propulsion and confidence.
