Jordan Luka 5 “Chinese New Year” Joins Jordan Brand’s Growing Lunar Celebration

Jordan Brand continues to expand its annual Chinese New Year lineup, and the Jordan Luka 5 is the latest performance model to join the celebration. Following the recent unveiling of the Air Jordan 1 Low as part of the broader Lunar New Year rollout, Luka Dončić’s fifth signature silhouette steps into the spotlight with a themed colorway tied to the Year of the Horse.

The Jordan Luka 5 “Chinese New Year” leans into rich, ceremonial detailing, pairing warm brown tones with intricate patterned overlays that reference traditional Lunar New Year motifs. Textured panels and layered materials elevate the otherwise streamlined performance design, while deep red accents—long associated with prosperity and good fortune—appear throughout the shoe, including on the tongue branding and interior details. Subtle graphic elements embedded across the upper further connect the silhouette to the larger Jordan Brand CNY story.

While firmly rooted in storytelling, the Luka 5 remains performance-driven at its core. The low-cut build, responsive cushioning setup, and court-focused construction stay intact, ensuring the shoe is built for Luka’s quick changes of pace and controlled footwork. The result is a model that balances on-court function with off-court cultural significance, aligning with Jordan Brand’s approach to recent Lunar New Year releases.

The Jordan Luka 5 “Chinese New Year” is expected to release soon alongside the rest of Jordan Brand’s Chinese New Year collection via Nike.com/Jordan.

As the Year of the Horse lineup continues to grow—spanning classics like the Jordan 1 Low to modern signature models—the Luka 5 adds another meaningful chapter to Jordan Brand’s ongoing Lunar New Year celebration.
