Ja Morant and the Grizzlies are in the midst of a coaching change, and a fight for a playoff position as the organization just fired Taylor Jenkins, and the team sits at number 7 in the Western Conference. Morant continues pushing forward with new releases from his signature sneaker line with Nike, the Nike Ja 2. Honoring his alma mater, Morant and Nike have cooked up a new Murray State-inspired colorway.
This isn’t the first time Ja’s sneakers have paid homage to Murray State. The Nike Ja 1 launched in the school’s colors, and the Ja 2 was released in a colorway made for Morant when he was inducted into the school’s hall of fame. This pair is primarily white, with navy blue hues gracing the chenille-covered Swoosh. Outlining this logo is yellow textile, which gives the Swoosh a varsity jacket-esque vibe.
