Even as a three-time NBA MVP, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic has routinely shown that he prioritizes his family above everything else. And after his wife Natalija narrated a heartwarming tribute video to his latest MVP honors in the spring, it’s so fitting that Jokic likely always had something special planned.
It’s so perfect that Jokic will be reminded of her and his family every single time he laces his shoes up on the court.
As pointed out on Twitter, Jokic’s new signature shoes with 361 — the BIG3 Future PE “Joker” — feature the Jokic couple’s name on the tongue intertwined around red and green wedding rings. Even better, Jokic can now slip his wedding ring into a pocket built into the tongue instead of tying it to one of his laces like he’s done in the past.
What an all-around dedicated family man:

It's also a pocket you can slip your wedding ring in. Jokic doesn't need to tie rings in his laces anymore 💍👟 https://t.co/S5MEokRnbS pic.twitter.com/2TUFmd7a1k

Jokic is at the top of his game as the best basketball player in the world. But even he understands that there are more important things than putting an orange ball through a tall hoop. Take notes, everyone, because love is so real.
