Nikola Jokic is making a bold statement with his footwear these days, as he recently debuted his new "361°" sneakers in Denver during the Nuggets' 120-114 win over the Warriors on Christmas Day. This marks a significant change for Jokic, who previously had a shoe deal with Nike and never had signature Nikes like many other NBA superstars. However, thanks to a new multi-year contract with the Chinese sportswear brand "361°," Jokic is now showcasing the brand's "Big3 Future High" sneakers on the court.

In the final minute of the game against the Warriors, Jokic put his new shoes to the test with an impressive one-handed slam, securing Denver's win. Following the game, Jokic expressed his satisfaction with the new footwear, noting that they are lighter and more comfortable than his previous shoes, and he appreciates the responsiveness of the brand.

While Jokic's teammate, Aaron Gordon, already has a signature shoe with "361°," Jokic clarified that Gordon is not receiving a cut of his multi-year contract. Despite a slight change in his shooting performance during the game against the Warriors, Jokic remains content with the performance and comfort of his new shoes. He also emphasized the physical nature of the game and the importance of being aggressive.

As for those looking to emulate Jokic's style, a low-top version of his new shoes will be available to the public for purchase, with the high-top version remaining a player exclusive. Jokic expressed excitement about the collaboration and teased the upcoming release of his signature shoe, anticipating the opportunity to share it with everyone in the near future.
