Despite the unfortunate news that Ja Morant will be sitting out the remainder of the 2023-2024 NBA season, the excitement surrounding his signature Nike line hasn't waned. The Nike Ja 1, a testament to Morant's dynamic play and charismatic presence on the court, continues to captivate sneakerheads and basketball fans alike with its various colorways. As we eagerly anticipate the debut of his second signature model later in the year, Nike is set to introduce a refreshing new colorway for the Summer 2024 season – the Nike Ja 1 Seasonal.
This upcoming release deviates from the conventional Ja 1 design, opting for a blend of canvas and wide space mesh across its upper, both rendered in a serene coconut milk hue. This choice of materials and color palette imbues the sneaker with a clean, summer-ready aesthetic, perfectly complementing the warmer months. The design is accented by a stark white TPU Swoosh that gracefully contrasts with the brown shades adorning the heel tab and ripstop nylon heel, adding depth to the sneaker's overall look.
Adding a personal touch, the Ja branding on the tongue is cleverly split between blue and black across the left and right sneakers, mirroring the 12 embroidered on the heel that nods to Morant's jersey number. The sneaker is finished off with a Zoom Air-cushioned midsole featuring a two-tone coconut milk and blue hue and a matching tonal rubber outsole.
The Nike Ja 1 Seasonal will release on April 1, 2024, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the sneaker will retail for $120.
