Highlight plays. High-flying dunks. Ankle-breaking crossovers. Brutal blocks. Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant can do it all — and in style. Now, you can wear his signature on-court kicks, too, the Nike Ja 1, a mid-top sneaker with a bouncy forefoot Air Zoom unit for when you're taking off, a cushioned midsole for when you land, a foam collar so you don't roll an ankle, and plenty of grip and a forefoot strap so you can easily break others'. Subtle touches like Ja's custom 12 a.m. graphic, handwritten signature, hand-drawn logo, and jersey number add a truly custom feel, even if this player exclusive is up for grabs to everyone to wear their own way. These do, however, fit a bit small — so size a half-size up for the best fit and performance.
