Ja Morant Unveils Signature Nike Shoes
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant is debuting his signature Nike shoes against the Golden State Warriors.
Christmas Day in the past has given rise to some of the greatest basketball sneakers ever made. Ja Morant, a point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is taking advantage of the chance to go down in sneaker history for this reason.

Later today, Morant will make his first Nike signature shoe debut against the Golden State Warriors.
Morant jokingly presented his official Nike logo earlier this week. His initial name appears in the “JA” emblem atop a chevron, which stands for his family’s motto:
My parents used to tell me, “You’re beneath no one,” anytime I doubted if I was good enough when I was a child. And when wearing the Ja 1, I want everyone to feel as though they are above everyone.
It’s excellent timing for Nike to release the league’s most acrobatic point guard’s first signature shoe on Christmas Day. What is known about Morant’s next shoes is detailed below.

Nike Ja 1
ESPN’s Nick DePaula posted a picture of Morant’s first trademark shoe in advance of today’s big game. Although Nike has not yet provided technical details, the basketball performance shoe is low-cut and undoubtedly lightweight.
The Nike Ja 1 will go on sale in the summer of 2023 for $110 in adult sizes. This summer, three colorways—”Phantom,” “Cobalt Bliss,” and “Game Royal“—will be available.
Prior to the Grizzlies selecting Morant with the second overall choice in the 2019 NBA Draft, he signed with Nike. Since then, the rising star has demonstrated a preference for vintage pieces from Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving‘s respective signature brands.
We can’t wait to see what Morant and Nike come up with in the future since the fun between the two companies is only getting started. Keep checking FanNationKicks.com for the latest in sneaker news.
