After sitting out one game, Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Luka Doncic was back on the court on Christmas Day to take on the Houston Rockets. Unfortunately, the Lakers fans didn’t get to witness a victory, but multiple fans in attendance got an extremely special experience thanks to Doncic himself.
In the spirit of Christmas, Luka gifted 25 fans in the 300 section of Crypto.com Arena with a special Luka 5 gift package. The Lakers guard debuted his new signature sneaker from Jordan Brand and there was also a short film released along with the shoe featuring NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski and Luka’s former teammate Boban Marjanovic.
Additionally, Luka would upgrade the seats of an additional 15 fans to a suite that he provided. It is a truly wonderful gesture and once again shows his generosity which has been on full display since joining the Lakers:
Major props to Luka for this. 👏 https://t.co/Xifnfmen7H pic.twitter.com/Acx11NtAMh

Not long after being acquired by the franchise, Doncic made a massive donation to help with relief from the wildfires that had occurred throughout Southern California. And he recently gifted his teammates as well as Lakers coaches and staff E-bikes for Christmas.
The highly-anticipated Luka 5 will be available starting Jan. 8 at Jordan.com and select retail locations in a “Venom” (black and green) colorway, though Nike’s website also lists a “Viper Edge” (all-green) version as coming soon. Luka’s fifth signature shoe will build off the previous model that was released in March, featuring a full-length Zoom Strobel for extra propulsion and a new ISOband for enhanced control.
Jordan Brand’s Luka 5 marks the first time one of his signature shoes includes full-length Zoom Strobel. The feature provides a responsive platform, and the new ISOband is designed to allow for a push off from the ground at any angle. Meanwhile the, ISOplate, a Doncic shoe signature feature, delivers underfoot stability and lateral support for quick directional changes.
The Luka 5 still includes a low-profile design that keeps your foot close to the court for a claw-like grip. A full-length herringbone traction pattern with HART rubber makes for strong traction.
