# Jordan Luka .77 Colorways + Release Dates (Complete Guide)
I still remember my first pair of basketball shoes. They weren’t anything fancy—just some beat-up Nike hand-me-downs from my cousin—but man, did I feel like I could fly in those things. Fast forward to today, and I’m still that same sneaker-obsessed kid, just with a bit more gray hair and a whole lot more sneakers stuffed in my closet (much to my wife’s dismay).
So when I got the early scoop on Luka Dončić’s newest signature shoe, the Jordan Luka .77, I practically did a happy dance in my home office. After spending the last few days digging through my sources and making some calls to my industry buddies, I’m pumped to share everything I know about this outdoor-ready baller.
The Jordan Luka .77: Built for the Blacktop
Let’s cut to the chase—the Jordan Luka .77 is coming to save our outdoor basketball games. If you’re like me and have ruined one too many “indoor-only” sneakers on rough concrete courts, you’re gonna love this shoe.
The first colorway dropping is called “Space Navigator,” and it’s landing on April 8, 2025. Priced at $100 (yep, you read that right—finally a signature shoe that won’t require a small loan), this is Luka’s answer to the outdoor hooper’s prayers.
I got to see some early samples last week, and I gotta say, they look fresher in person than in any of the leaked photos online. The “Space Navigator” has this cosmic blue vibe with some silver accents that somehow manages to look both futuristic and classic at the same time.
What Makes These Special?
The Jordan Brand folks weren’t messing around when they designed these. They’ve packed in some serious tech:
- Full-length Dual-Density Foam midsole that feels like walking on clouds (I might’ve snuck in a few steps in the sample pair)
- Seven heel cutouts that give you that perfect flex when you’re cutting on the court
- IsoPlate technology for stability when you’re trying to cross someone up like Luka
- High-abrasion mesh upper that can take a beating from rough outdoor courts
- Grippy outdoor-specific traction pattern that had me sticking to the floor like glue
I’ve burned through three pairs of shoes on my local court just this year, so the durability factor has me particularly excited. My wallet could use the break, honestly.
Upcoming Colorways (The Inside Scoop)
While the “Space Navigator” kicks things off in April, I’ve heard from reliable sources that we can expect at least five more colorways throughout 2025 and early 2026. Here’s what’s likely coming:
- Space Navigator – April 8, 2025 – $100
- Dallas Day – June 2025 – A nod to Luka’s team with navy, silver, and hints of blue
- Slovenia Heritage – August 2025 – Featuring green and white inspired by Luka’s home country
- Concrete Jungle – October 2025 – Gray and black colorway designed to hide scuffs from outdoor play
- Eurostepper – December 2025 – A holiday release with red and gold accents
- Pregame Ritual – February 2026 – Inspired by Luka’s warmup routine
Now, I should mention that besides the “Space Navigator,” these release dates could shift around a bit. My source at Nike HQ has been right about 90% of the time, but there was that one incident with the Jordan 37 release date that still has me buying him apology coffees.
Are They Worth the Wait?
Look, I’ve tested a lot of basketball shoes in my day. Some were all hype, some were genuinely game-changers. From what I’ve seen of the Luka .77s, they’re leaning toward the latter.
Last summer, I destroyed my favorite Kyries on an especially rough court behind my old high school. If I’d had these Lukas, I might still be rocking those Kyries for indoor games. The outdoor-specific design isn’t just marketing talk—it’s evident in every aspect of the shoe.
Plus, at $100, they’re priced reasonably enough that if you do wear them down after a summer of intense play, it won’t hurt quite as much to replace them.
The Verdict
I’m counting down the days until April 8th. My birthday’s in March, so I might have to drop some not-so-subtle hints to my family about what I want as a belated gift.
If you’re an outdoor hooper or just a fan of comfortable, durable sneakers that won’t break the bank, the Jordan Luka .77 deserves a spot on your radar. Just don’t blame me when you end up wanting all six colorways—that’s between you and your budget.
Until next time, keep your crossovers tight and your sneaker game tighter!
