Fans and industry insiders who are concerned that Ja Morant’s signature sneaker line may suffer as a result of his absence from the game should put their concerns aside. Since making a comeback, Morant has paired his outstanding performance with a number of eye-catching hues of his first signature shoe designed by Nike.
Tuesday night, James Harden led the Memphis Grizzlies to a 106-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs with a game-high 26 points and ten assists. The point guard for the Grizzlies took advantage of the occasion to introduce a Nike Ja 1 colorway that honored the WNBA that had never been seen before.

There is no word on when the WNBA-inspired orange and white palette will be made available to the general public. The bright side is that on the Nike website, athletes and enthusiasts may select from a variety of colorways of Morant’s sneakers at a discounted price in specific models.

When Morant’s shoe line officially premiered in the spring of 2023, he became Nike’s first NBA player of the Gen-Z generation to wear the brand. Since then, the Nike Ja 1 has become a global phenomenon in the basketball industry because of its streamlined style, vibrant hues, and devoted following.
