European basketball superstar Luka Dončić is one of the NBA’s most talented players, initially beginning his career in the EuroLeague with [Real Madrid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-tide-collection) before joining the basketball team. [Jordan Brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lake-bled) has now given the Jordan Luka 1, Dončić's first signature sneaker, a Real Madrid-inspired colorway to commemorate the athlete’s roots in the league.

The color scheme alludes to the athlete's Real Madrid gear. In order to deliver comfort and lightweight sensibilities, the low-cut silhouette includes the new IsoPlate system and a full-length Formula23 foam midsole. The lateral side of the construction reveals that the upper is formed from Flightwire frame cables to ensure that it is breathable.

The Jordan Luka 1 ‘[Football](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/football-sabot) Grey’ will debut in the near future via Nike and Nike Basketball retailers.
