Jokić fans have something exciting to look forward to.
When Nikola Jokić signed a shoe deal with the Chinese brand 361, expectations were uncertain. Now, about a year later, it seems Jokić is set to unveil one of his most anticipated signature shoes.
361 recently posted a teaser image of Nikola Jokić’s new BIG3 5.0 PRO PE “Joker” shoe, captioned “Coming Soon.” According to Ryan Greene of DNVR Sports, while Jokić has yet to wear these shoes in a game, he has been seen wearing them during practice.
One unique feature of the shoe is an inscription on the tongue that includes Nikola and his wife Natalija’s names alongside wedding ring symbols—a personal touch that the Jokić family greatly appreciates.
In May, Jokić expressed high praise for the brand. The attention to detail, such as the inscription, is one of the reasons he holds 361 in such high regard.

“361 showed great respect to me,” Jokić said. “These guys want to help me, use me. And whenever I read about them, they’re really, really popular. They’re really an up-scaling brand. Maybe I can help them too in some way. It’s the quality of the shoe that I really like. They made a shoe that the comfort is there.”
Nikola Jokić’s new “Joker” shoe is likely to be his most polarizing release yet, evoking strong opinions from fans who will either love it or hate it.
