This is the first release of a three shoe collection inspired by the pre-game rituals of the players involved. The other players getting releases include Britney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury and De'Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings, who will be sharing the same release, as well as Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Per Nike.com, The Fox and Griner release is scheduled to drop May 14th, and is "Outlined in Neptune Green, the Swoosh and the heel tab feature a lenticular design inspired by acoustic waveforms. An amplified design, using hotter reds and yellows, appears on the lateral forefoot and on the sock liner."
The Simmons variant is described by Nike as "The suede, cracked-gray upper is the canvas for two graphics and phrases on the shoe's lateral side — "Heart in the Game" on one, and "Pride & Passion" on the other. "Dedication" and "Motivation" read on the back heel tabs," and will drop a week later on May 21st.
Doncic teased his release earlier on Tuesday afternoon on his Instagram account.
