More than a year after the release of its first signature shoe, and while Ja Morant experienced a particularly delicate 2023-2024 financial year, between suspension and injuries, the Day 1 continues to supply the market with new colors. It also seems that the comma brand is also taking its time with the design of a possible Ja 2, perhaps out of caution.
The Ja 1 therefore continues to sell, notably with this brand new “Night” color, equipped with a black and purple upper and sole. The swoosh stands out in pale green on the upper and the whole is completed with touches of blue and pink, while the Ja Morant logo appears in gold on the tongue and outsole.
The Nike Ja 1 “Night” is the 11th colorway of Ja Morant’s signature shoe available at Basket4Ballers. The pair is 120 euros.
Our verdict from Ja 1
The promotional campaign for the Ja 1 will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the worst experienced by Nike. However, despite the player's adventures until finally this shoulder injury which led to another premature end to the season, the Grizzlies leader's first signature shoe has clearly found its audience, all ages combined.
A phenomenon which can be explained by the enthusiasm around the player Ja Morant, among the biggest rising stars in the league, a simple design but with touches of originality that hit the mark, and of course guarantees on the technical level, the pair being satisfactory on this point despite its classic side, particularly at the level of the sole. We can also highlight the diversity of colors which made it possible to delight as many people as possible. Support is undoubtedly its strong point, with its walls at the back of the foot to complete the device and “tighten” the heel, and also to reassure larger profiles.
