That was fast, right? It seems like the Luka Doncic’s Jordan Luka 1 made its debut just last week, now we’re already getting a first look at the Jordan Luka 2 courtesy of Luka Doncic himself.

Previewed below, Luka actually wore and debuted the Luka 2 on court when his Dallas Mavericks took on the Sacramento Kings. Right off the bat you can see that the Luka 2 is much more bulkier than the Luka 1. The Luka 1 is much more streamline and sleek, whereas the Luka 2 appears to have more components and layers on its upper. New design details on the Luka 2 include Jumpman branding on the tongue pull tabs, Luka?s logo on the tongue labels and speckled detailing along the mid-foot shank. We’re certain more details are also included, but this is what we can see right now using the eye test. All that being said, the Luka 2 is said to still come equipped with IsoPlate support and Formula23 cushioning on the sole.

The Jordan Luka 2 does not have any release info, but we do expect Jordan Brand to officially announce and introduce it in the near future, while a stateside release is slated to happen sometime this summer. Stay tuned.

The Air Jordan 17 Low made its debut way back in 2002. Much like all the Jordan retros after the Air Jordan 14, this Jordan silhouette is often forgotten in the sneaker community. That said, according to zsneakerheadz, the often overlooked Air Jordan 17 Low will be making a return in 2023.

When the Air Jordan 17 first dropped, it was Jordan Brand’s most expensive Air Jordan to date during that era. The sneaker was Wilson Smith III, as he found inspiration from jazz music while also being equipped with the brand?s first-ever Tuned Air cushioning system. When the Air Jordan 17 Low dropped, it debuted in the three colorways you see below. For 2024, there is no word on if Jordan Brand will be rereleasing those OG colorways, or if they will opt to drop fresh new designs. Design details on the Air Jordan 17 Low include a low-cut design that comes constructed with a leather upper paired with a Dynamic Fit inner sleeve that provides a more supportive fit. The design is also highlighted by the signature chrome strip around the heel while also utilizing an integrated lace-up closure for a lockdown fit. A full-length shank plate, TPU heel stabilizer for support and lightweight phylon midsole with herringbone traction underfoot is also in play.

There is current no confirmed release date for the return of the Air Jordan 17 Low, but current reports have the retro release arriving during Spring 2024 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.
