Jordan Release Calendar

Luka Dončić has been an absolute force since he stepped into the NBA. Currently playing his 8th season in the league, Dončić has been on five All-Star teams and received five NBA First Team honors. In his first full year with the Lakers alongside LeBron James, Luka has more pressure on his back to win a championship than ever, and that spotlight will shine even brighter thanks to Jordan Brand and his latest signature silhouette, the upcoming Jordan Luka 5.
The Luka 5 uses similar design language as the Luka 4, but adds new performance tech throughout and extra support on the side panels. The reinforced mesh upper features extra protection on the toe and IsoBand oval structures on either side of the shoe for stability and structure. Underfoot, a Zoom Strobel and Cushlon 3.0 foam combine for enhanced comfort.

Releasing the shoe in an iconic Jordan colorway, one of the first Luka 5s will be in a black and red colorway. The mesh upper and support panels are all done in shades of black, with a red Jumpman logo on the lateral midsole close to the toes, and a silver reflective tongue with Luka’s 77 logo and red on the underside. The traction outsole is a two-tone mix of translucent and red.
The Jordan Luka 5 Black Bright Crimson will be released January 15, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in adult and kids’ sizes, the retail prices are set at $135 (men’s), $105 (GS), and $85 (PS).
