Luka Doncic recently scored a career-high 42 points and triple-double while playing the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. Doncic, who is currently without a shoe deal, wore the new 'Sour Patch Kids' UA Curry 7s. Before Doncic was drafted third overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, he wore Nike Hyperdunk 2017 Low shoes while playing in the Euro League. The Slovenian player has previously tried everything from Kobe 4 Protros to Curry 7s. Stephen Curry replied to a post about Doncic wearing the 'Curry 7s', saying that he likes Doncic's style.
