Jared Ebanks From its Alpine peaks and never-ending forests to the Adriatic Sea and Pannonian Plain, Luka Doncic’s home country of Slovenia prides itself on preserving its natural and cultural treasures. Alongside the countries continued efforts to educate the public on high biodiversity – creating a sense of pride and recognition around the protection of nature – Slovenia has become one of the most sustainability-minded countries in the world.
As Jordan Brand continues to extend its offerings of their latest signature athlete’s debut silhouette, the latest Jordan Luka 1 pays homage to his environmentally conscious homeland through a “Next Nature” proposition incorporating an increased use of recycled materials.
Centered around a dominant use of “Tan” hues, the neutral tone coats its leather quarter overlay, mudguard and embroidered Flight Wire that secures the midfoot through braided cables inspired by those that hold up bridges. The model’s laces and heel counter additionally come color-matched while a stark contrast is introduced by way of the jet-black suede tongue construction, padded sock liner and heel counter while the heel’s mini Jumpman follows suit amidst a white speckled midsole. Underfoot, samples of Jade are introduced via the sole units exposed Formula 23 Foam, embroidered insignia placed adjacently along the tongues and the insoles pinwheel logos. Divvying up the presiding tonal spectrum, seldom hits of “Citrus” paint the semi-translucent tread and pull tabs in conclusion.
