Nikola Jokić has been one of the NBA’s great success stories since the Denver Nuggets drafted him 41st overall in 2014. The Serbian center wore Nike for most of his career but never got a signature shoe, despite winning two MVP awards, an NBA championship and Finals MVP. That changed on December 25, 2023, when he signed a multi-year deal with 361° to become the brand’s global ambassador, with plans for his first signature model. Until it arrived, he wore the 361° Big 3 Future High on court.

The 361 Joker 1 released on December 21, 2024, by which point Jokić was a three-time MVP. Its logo is based on a jester’s hat, with stars for his many awards, and the outsole traction uses traditional Serbian patterns to honor his heritage. The shoe had 361°’s full-length CQT midsole, which the brand says returns up to 70% of energy, plus a TPU wrap for stability and a premium leather build. A low-cut Joker 1 GT added CQT Extrem3 cushioning and a Qu!kbone carbon fiber plate. One player-exclusive colorway referred to his habit of tying his wedding band to his shoelaces during games.

361° unveiled the Joker 2 on September 26, 2025, and released it on December 22, 2025. It switched to two midsole foams, pairing CQT Qu!k with Qu!k Light inside a TPU frame. It also added lateral TPU support in the upper and an anti-torsion plate under the arch. The medial side reads “Sombor, Serbia,” his birth date and “No. 15.” Six more colorways followed in February 2026.
