“Amazing, amazing, you should try it. It's good for the feet, it's comfortable, try it. On sale, $199.”

The new Joker 2 appears with a revamped upper, featuring vented panels to expose the joker's hat logo in neon green. Complete with thick rope laces, the shoes will appear both in a low-cut and a high-top version for varying levels of comfort and support. Made of mostly synthetic materials, the shoes offer maximum stability for the big-man game, along with enhancing rubber treaded outsole for grip and energy return.

Nikola Jokic currently has his signature collection available on the 361° website as fans anxiously await the release of his newest sneaker. Whether or not Jokic is joking about the $199 price tag, it would be a steep increase from the $130 mark of the original Joker 1. Nevertheless, the shoes offer many performance capabilities and a company like 361° is committed to providing Jokic with the best available footwear on the court.


While there's no official release date announced just yet, expect the Joker 2 to arrive in the coming weeks with the NBA season around the corner.
