Luka Is The “Big Ticket” For His Outdoor Jordan Luka .77

Not every run looks the exact same, and while certainly the ideal conditions for any basketball shoe features a speckless environment with pristine surfaces, Nike is increasing ceding that hoops is never truly played in a vacuum. Indeed, in Asian markets, outdoor sessions are the norm, and Beaverton’s efforts have shifted to divert equal attention to concrete surfaces versus simply the hardwood.

Our dedicated readership and the roundball obsessives will know that the Nike Street Tough series has commanded the most attention in this regard, but Jordan Brand has kicked things up a notch by bringing their foremost signature athlete into the mix. The Jordan Luka .77, both takedown and outdoor offshoot, brings the tech befitting of an MVP player with more durable traction, allowing the model to hold up to repeated wear in the elements. Where the “Big Ticket” moniker attached to this colorway comes into play is unclear, whether Luka is shouting out Kevin Garnett or aiming to unseat the Defensive Player of the Year for that nickname, but a mix of aquatic shades on this pair is plenty arresting regardless of any narrative ties.

Expect the Jordan Luka .77 “Big Ticket” hitting retail shelves and Nike.com on April 6th, retailing for the silhouette’s standard $105 in adult sizing. Find official images below and watch our Jordan Release Dates hub for more of what the Jumpman has in store.
