A New Jordan Luka 1 has surfaced in “Safari” themed colorway. This colorway takes inspiration from the Jordan 3 “Black Cement” and the Air Max 1 “Safari”. The Luka 1 borrows the Safari pattern and the elephant print pattern from each respective shoe.

Originally released in 1987, the dotted print was designed by Tinker Hatfield when Nike Released the Nike Air Safari which wasn’t very popular back then, but a re-release happened in 2002 with Japanese retailer Atmos. The elephant pattern comes from the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” which was originally released in 1988 also designed by Hatfield. On this Luka 1 the left shoe comes dressed in the safari pattern and the right shoe comes dressed in the elephant print with hints of orange throughout the shoe.

As for as technology goes there is Nike Zoom Air near the forefoot area it’s not confirmed if it’s full length or just in the forefoot area, it is also unknown if it will feature a special midsole cushioning such as Formula23 which is featured on the Luka 1.

Tatum has yet to officially wear his signature sneaker or announce it but we could potentially see him lace them up during NBA All-Star Weekend or during the NBA playoffs if the Boston Celtics qualify.
