Nikola Jokic, a point-center, is part of Nike Basketball’s group of top athletes. He was just selected the league MVP for the second consecutive season. Jokic has broken records in PER rating and led a decimated Denver Nuggets club to 48 victories, establishing himself as the posterboy of the position-less NBA player.

Creating a signature shoe for The Joker, who has two league MVPs, youth, and a global fan base, may seem like a smart move. However, traditionally, large guys have not been successful in promoting sneaker sales in the industry. Nike is planning to re-release the Nike Hyperdunk X, a shoe favoured by the Serbian player.

Jokic has frequently been switching between the brand’s newer models like the Zoom GT Jump and Rize 2, but he has shown a preference for the Hyperdunk range. The eleventh model has been commonly used and frequently seen on the court. The shoe in question was featured in a viral video by former Torrey Craig, where he compared his extensive sneaker collection to Jokic’s single-shoe lineup.
