We’ve all been waiting very patiently for the debut of Ja Morant’s Nike JA 1, with Nike responsible for what is seemingly the longest, drawn-out lead-up in recent history. From the “Day One” debut to a recently-revealed $400 crystal-encrusted colorway, we’ve seen both ends of Morant’s debut spectrum. Now it takes a more whimsical approach, as this new Nike JA 1 “Scratch” delivers huge homage to his Memphis Grizzlies through a throwback theme.
The pair draws direct inspiration from the original Vancouver Grizzlies jerseys, with a striking “Rapid Teal” mesh upper, black, white, and red accents, and the signature bear claw markings made famous by the franchise’s early brand logos — it even features a brown tongue tag that references the mascot itself.
Grab an official look at this retro-inspired Nike JA 1 “Scratch” below, and expect to learn more about the pair’s release in the coming weeks.
As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
