The Luka 3 Combines Unmatched Control with Smooth Comfort

Smooth Heel-to-Toe Transition

This shoe includes full-length Cushlon 3.0 foam, ensuring a smooth heel-to-toe transition. Combined with the Isoplate, the Luka 3 midsole system is perfect for both decelerating and accelerating during quick moves and attacks on the basket.

Enhanced Movement Capabilities

The shoe allows players to fully utilize lateral and diagonal movements. The Isoplate provides torsional rigidity to keep the player secure over the footbed.

Flexible Yet Contained

Cutouts along the lateral toebox feature a neoprene-like barrier, letting the toes flex enough during sharp cuts without sacrificing containment.

Inspired by High-Performance Sports Cars

The real-life inspiration for the Luka 3 comes from Dončić’s love for high-performance sports cars. The qualities of an elite car — the motor for propulsion and the chassis for control and agility — reflect Luka’s game, where he uses speed and control to his advantage for an offensive style that’s nearly impossible to guard.

Racing-Tire Traction

The outsole features a generative herringbone pattern inspired by racing-tire traction. Other details are more subtle, like pull tabs modeled after seat belt materials and wavy striations on the engineered textile upper, inspired by high speeds.

Commitment to Sustainability

The Luka 3 builds on the performance benefits of the Luka 2 and enhances sustainability across the Luka franchise. For the first time, every Luka 3 colorway achieves a Tier-2 sustainability score, meaning each shoe is made with at least 20 percent recycled material by weight.

Release Dates

The Luka 3 releases in the Midnight Racer colorway on July 5 in Europe; the Photo Finish colorway releases globally on July 16.
