Matt Varga A year and change after what’s regarded as the most lopsided trade in NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers are finally fully in the Luka Dončić era. Though LeBron James excelled in a third-option role during the sparse 2025-26 minutes when he, Dončić, and Austin Reaves were able to share the floor together, The King is taking his talents elsewhere, allowing the purple and gold to comprehensively turn the reins over to Wonder Boy.
Whether he’ll be able to match the heights the Lakers reached under The Kid From Akron becomes the biggest outstanding question, one of several juicy plotlines already cooking for the 2026-27 campaign. As fans work through the offseason and the players begin their summer regimen, the Jordan Luka 5 introduces a new “Ghost” colorway. Already heralded as perhaps the best in his lineage, the silhouette looks to another steadfast formula with a clean grey/white/red split, echoing the hometown colors of its sponsor’s namesake.
The Jordan Luka 5 “Ghost” is confirmed for an August 1st release, retailing for $135. Catch official images below and watch our Jordan Release Dates page for direct pick-up links upon arrival.
