Doncic wore his first signature shoe, the Jordan Luka 1. The white and pink colorway is currently unreleased, but that could change in the near future. Jordan Brand has produced numerous colorways of Doncic's first signature shoe thanks to its mass appeal.

Fans can purchase the Jordan Luka 1 at $110 (or less) in adult sizes on Nike's website. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any of the myriad colorways cooked up by Jordan Brand.

The shoes now have an average resale price of $359, according to the sneaker resale website StockX. Consumers can also check for lower prices on eBay, GOAT, and Kicks Crew.
