In December 2023, Nikola Jokić shocked many in the sneaker world when he decided to ditch Nike in favor of Chinese sportswear brand 361°. Before this, Jokić was essentially the face of the Nike GT Jump line, but since signing with 361°, he’s been rocking the Big3 Future CQT High. However, 361° has now unveiled release information for Jokić’s first signature model, the JOKER1.
As seen in images from a presentation, the JOKER1 is slated to drop in December 2024. We can see that it will feature Qu!kCQTECH cushioning and a Diamond Grip outsole, but besides seeing the sneaker's high-cut shape, that’s all we have to work on. Alongside his JOKER1 model, the JOKER1 GT was also shown in this presentation. This version appears to be a more advanced and high-end version of the JOKER1, as its retail price is higher and comes with a different cushioning setup. Following this initial reveal, the debut Black White colorway appeared via a teaser video.
Nikola Jokić’s 361° JOKER1 will release December 2, 2024. The sneaker will be available through 361° and select retailers online and in-store. As for the retail price, the presentation showed a ¥699 price for the JOKER1 and ¥999 for the JOKER 1 GT, converting to approximately $100 and $140, respectively.
