Jordan Luka 3

Motorsports or whatever they call them been on the Navy Exchange website for a little while now. At $104, I’ll take a flyer on them, what the hell.

Surprised to see Luka actually wearing these, as he basically skipped 2's entirely and stuck with 1's pretty much the entire last season.
 
If JB continues this trend Lukas line will be discontinued very soon

Old post but I've been thinking about this for the last few weeks.

There's no way that Luka is happy with Jordan brand/Nike. He had a ton of PEs from his rookie year until the Luka 1 that he wore, from Kobe's or JB. He had a solid rotation each season and seemed satisfied with the brand. He's also been playing in Nike's his entire career going back to his time in Real Madrid so staying with the brand wasn't a big surprise to begin with.

However his line has been an extreme disappointment. The Luka 1 was a solid shoe aside from the cushion. The lockdown, fit, traction, etc were all on point and the price tag was good. If that shoe had zoom in the forefoot it would be an all time great. Luka's pair could very well be different than the mass produced ones but I doubt it. The 2's and 3's were both okay but nothing special in terms of performance.

I wonder if Kyrie/Klay/Spencer are in his ear about Chinese brands. His contract with JB ends in 2029. I wouldn't be surprised if it mutually ends sooner.
 
Agreed it's been a disappointment. I thought they would do WAY better by him. With all his fanboys he's a cash cow waiting to happen but they just gave him mush.

The fact that he's been playin in the 1s mostly in 2024 and not the 3s or 2s, is WILD.

Maybe they'll give his deal to trae and he'll move on. Weirdly enough I could see him going to Skechers with Embiid. Or Adidas.

I've been saying it for years and it still stands true: Jordan Brand is where signature athletes go to die. Nike isn't much better recently. Right now I think his best bet would be with Adidas. He's an extremely high profile player and they would pull out all the stops for him. They're also not afraid to go for it with the design so I would actually be eager to see what they would come up with

Well hopefully he dips. For as good a player as he is, the shoes and rollout have just been super underwhelming. That said, I play with 2 or 3 guys who have actually been playing in the 3s. They aren't like raving about them or anything, but they are in them.

Now, in the NBA, I can't think of a single other player who wears Luka 3s to play in. It's not like Curry 12 level of nobody but the sig athlete wearing them, but it isn't far off.
