Ja Morant, an athlete whose electrifying performances on the court are matched only by the vibrancy of his first signature shoe with Nike, continues to maintain his partnership with the iconic sportswear brand. The Memphis Grizzlies' high-flying guard is set to debut the Nike Ja 1 "Check," a shoe that's as colorful in design as Morant is in play.
Crafted with a kaleidoscope of hues, the Nike Ja 1 "Check" captures the essence of the dynamic All-Star weekend. The palette is an exciting mix, with transitions from light reds to deep oranges, playful blues, regal purples, and striking neons, capturing the eye with every pivot and jump. Beyond the rainbow canvas, the shoe's real storytelling power lies in its personalized accents, which are as charismatic as Morant's on-court persona.
The tongue of the shoe carries a badge-inspired emblem that celebrates Morant's status as Nike's celebrated signee, while the insoles are imprinted with calendar reminders, a playful nod to the sneaker's All-Star debut. Perhaps most intriguing is the shoe's outsole, where one of Morant's notable Tweets is immortalized, "Now I’m proud to say I work for the Check," underlining his commitment to the brand and the sport.
See for yourself below, and expect this new Nike Ja 1 "Check" to hit select retailers and Nike SNKRS on February 2nd, 2024.
