Jordan Luka .77 Drops Dayo 23 Manila Colorway
Nike continues its investment in Asian streetball culture with a limited Jordan Luka .77 crafted for the Dayo 23 Manila Invitational. The third iteration of the tournament-exclusive shoe arrives with Philippine flag colorways and floral detailing, part of a broader commitment to elevating international concrete hoops.

Nike's strategy to expand basketball's footprint across Asia has yielded a consistent pipeline of tournament-specific drops, and the Jordan Luka .77 Dayo 23 Manila edition represents the latest chapter in that narrative. The invitational—now in its third year—has become the brand's most visible platform for celebrating the Philippines' streetball ecosystem, comparable in scope to special editions produced for the Dongdan tournament in the region.
The Luka .77 silhouette, already a fixture in Doncic's growing signature line, receives localized treatment through flag-inspired colorways and botanical motifs that reference the host nation's visual identity. These design choices move beyond cosmetic gestures; they signal a deliberate curation of product specifically for market and cultural relevance rather than global template releases.
Design & Release Details
Retail pricing sits at approximately $105 for standard Luka .77 releases, though the Dayo 23 edition may command a premium given its limited production run and special edition status. The shoe will roll out across Nike's digital and retail channels as part of the Summer 2026 lineup, with a coordinated apparel collection also launching alongside. Additional footwear offerings tied to the tournament may surface as the event approaches.
Nike's commitment to grassroots activation in the region extends beyond footwear; the brand has leveraged global talent like Dylan Harper and Sabrina Ionescu to amplify the tournament's cultural reach. The Dayo 23 series has proven a reliable summer story, balancing commercial viability with genuine community engagement.
