Official Images: Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "NY vs. NY" (Black)

With the 2024-25 NBA season just around the corner, Ja Morant is stepping into the spotlight off the court with a fresh take on a Nike classic. The Memphis Grizzlies guard is linking up with Nike Basketball once again, this time for his own edition of the Air Force 1 Low “NY vs. NY.”

For those unfamiliar, “NY vs. NY” is an annual Nike-organized streetball tournament that highlights the top high school talent across New York City. The project often comes with exclusive footwear drops tied to the city’s summer basketball culture.Official images confirm that the pair features a clean “Black/Gum” build. Premium black nubuck panels are accented by tumbled leather Swooshes, white rope laces, and subtle hits of powder blue on the lace dubrae and insole branding. The heel tab features a stacked “NY vs. NY” embroidery, tying the design directly to the event. Rounding things out is a classic gum rubber outsole that adds contrast and durability.

Unlike his Ja 1, this Air Force 1 doesn’t carry Morant’s personal emblem on the upper, keeping the focus on the NYC streetball story. Still, its design neatly balances Nike heritage and Ja’s current momentum as one of the league’s most recognizable faces.

Stay tuned for firm Nike.com release details for the pair, which should arrive in early fall. For more from the Swoosh empire, check out all Jordan release dates remaining in the year.
