Arguably the most anticipated debut signature sneaker of Nike Basketball’s next generation of talent, Ja Morant’s Nike JA 1 has quickly risen to the top of people’s priority list. With DNA similar to the Kobe and Kyrie lines — both of which no longer produce new models — it’s easy to see why. The market-preferred low-cut, responsive Zoom Air cushioning underfoot and lightweight uppers align with the aforementioned signature lines. Add to that Morant’s exciting on-court play and larger-than-life personality, and you’ve got a bonafide best-seller. His debut “Day One” colorway will be first, but shorty after, a second release will take place, with the Nike JA 1 “Trivia” confirmed for a May 4th release.
Though there’s a slew of colored accentuations, the bulk of the build arrives in “Phantom,” namely across the forefoot and mid-panel. Colorful trivia question then cover the purple insole and heel, with said colors bearing a resemblance to some of the most popular board games in history. Bold green Swooshes double-up as a rear pull, with blue heels and liners, and gold tongues and outsoles rounding out the design.
Grab an official look at the pair below, and expect to see and learn more about the Nike JA 1 “Trivia” as we approach its May 4th release. As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
