Unfortunately, Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are out of the NBA playoffs after getting swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Morant is still pushing forward in the off-season with new colorways of his Nike Ja 2 that will mark the final releases ahead of the Ja 3’s debut. One of these last colorways is a pair joining the NYvsNY collection.
Joining a capsule of sneakers for NYC’s streetball tournament, which includes an Air Force 1, Air Max Uptempo 95, and a Nike Ja 3, this Nike Ja 2 Scratch continues with the design motif seen on two other releases from Ja’s second model, the Ja 2 Scratch in a throwback Grizzlies color scheme and another part of the Black Label Collection for All-Star Weekend. Here, we see a high-energy volt green hue cover the mesh and leather paneling of the upper, taking on varying hues between the overlays and underlays.
