361° Nikola Jokić Joker 1 'Champagne' - Basketball Shoes Men's Almond White
361° Joker 1 'Champagne' - Nikola Jokić's Debut Signature Shoe
Experience the game-changing performance of the 361° Joker Yokei Generation One, the first official signature shoe of two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić. Engineered for elite-level play yet versatile enough for any position, this mid-top basketball shoe combines premium craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to deliver an unparalleled on-court experience.
Key Performance Features
⚡ Qu!kCQTECH Cushioning System
Featuring 361°'s proprietary Qu!kCQTECH (CQT) foam technology, the Joker 1 provides a fluffy, responsive, and bouncy ride that balances plush impact protection with exceptional court feel. The midsole is encased in a supportive TPU wrap, ensuring stability during explosive movements while delivering the springiness needed for dynamic play. Perfect for both powerful post moves and quick guard-like cuts.
🏀 Diamond Grip Traction
The outsole features 361°'s Diamond Grip rubber compound with a unique "Serbian ethnic" multidirectional traction pattern inspired by Jokić's heritage. This aggressive pattern delivers elite-level grip on clean hardwood courts, providing surefooted stops and cuts in every direction. While the tough rubber compound offers durability, the deep grooves help maintain performance even on moderately dusty surfaces.
🛡️ Premium Materials & Construction
Open the box and be greeted by the rich aroma of genuine leather. The Joker 1 features a premium leather and synthetic leather upper with nubuck accents that mold to your foot over time. The construction combines old-school craftsmanship with modern performance, offering a soft, breathable feel with zero break-in time required. TPU overlays on the eyestay and a substantial external TPU heel counter provide enhanced durability and structure.
💪 Support & Stability
Despite its lightweight, nimble feel, the Joker 1 delivers big-man support in a guard shoe package. A robust TPU torsion plate and midsole wrap work in tandem with the external heel counter to provide rock-solid lockdown and lateral containment. The padded tongue and sculpted collar ensure a secure, personalized fit that prevents heel slippage while allowing natural ankle mobility.
Design & Aesthetics
The 'Champagne' colorway (Lotus Seed White/Apricot Tea Brown) showcases a sophisticated, clean aesthetic with premium white leather panels complemented by warm apricot tea brown accents. This versatile color scheme transitions seamlessly from the court to casual wear, embodying Jokić's understated yet dominant playing style. The mid-top silhouette offers optimal ankle support without restricting mobility.
