Sneaker News Nikola Jokic is a name that may not come up often in the sneaker newswire, but a recent partnership with Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Squarepants has people buzzing about the three-time NBA MVP’s signature shoe.
Signed with Chinese brand 361° back in December of last year, Jokic now sports a signature shoe called the 361° BIG3 Future, a model that hasn’t really appealed to the sneaker community at large until now. As part of this collaboration with SpongeBob Squarepants, 361° delivers four distinct colorways, each modeled after a distinct character of the cartoon franchise – SpongeBob, Patrick Star, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs. Each pair is available online right now for $199 directly from the 361° website.
This is hardly SpongeBob’s first foray into hoops; back in 2019, Kyrie Irving and Nike collaborated with the silly cartoon for a five-pair collection that also included the aforementioned character and Daisy (pictured below). Why she was left out of Jokic’s collection remains a mystery.
