Memphis Grizzlies fans celebrate as Nike unveils Ja Morant’s first signature shoe

It was a memorable Christmas Day for supporters of Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies as Nike, the renowned Oregon-based shoe brand, finally released the highly anticipated Nike Ja 1 silhouette, marking the rising star’s first signature shoe collaboration with the iconic brand.

 

In the spring of 2023, Nike will introduce two limited color variations of the Nike Ja 1 through its official channels and select retail stores. These stylish Cobalt blue sneakers, available in men’s sizes, will be priced at an attractive $110 per pair.

 

With the departure of Kyrie Irving from Nike and several veteran athletes in the Nike Basketball roster, including LeBron James (set to launch the LeBron 20) and Kevin Durant (expected to debut the KD 16 in 2023) nearing the twilight of their careers, Ja Morant represents the infusion of fresh energy and talent into the brand.

 

After months of speculation and early reports, the young star officially unveiled his much-anticipated signature sneaker, the Nike Ja 1. The grand revelation of the silhouette took place on Christmas Day 2022, and it made its on-court debut on the same remarkable day.
