It is rare for the launch of a signature sneaker line to go as smoothly as it did for Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic. The Jordan Luka 1 took over collegiate and professional basketball thanks to its performance technology and fire colorways.

Doncic's shoes offered athletes and fans cutting-edge Jordan Brand technology at an affordable price. Online shoppers can choose between multiple colorways of the Jordan Luka 1 on the Nike website.

For a brief moment in the 1990s, the Orlando Magic, led by Penny Hardaway and Shaquille O'Neal, looked like a dynasty in the making. The team fizzled out, but Hardaway's sneakers have withstood the test of time.

It is rare to see Nike Air Penny 2 sitting on shelves, and even more unusual for the retro sneakers to be available at a discount. But we are not mad at it at all. The Nike Air Penny 2 has been marked down by as much as 49% in select styles on the Nike website.

Nike Air Griffey Max 1
