Ja Morant became the superstar he is today by repeatedly sinking jumpers on crooked rims, jumping on tractor tyres and dribbling through sun-stained traffic cones in steamy South Carolina summers. The Ja 1 is a testament to his rise. The Air Zoom cushioning supports bunny hops and hyper speed without sacrificing comfort, so that you can control your own destiny on the court, Ja-style. This special design pays homage to Ja’s favourite dunk and his organisation’s heritage.
Grind City-Raised
The bear claw-like slashes on the upper and midsole pay homage to the ‘backscratcher’, Ja’s famed two-handed, rim-rattling dunk. Plus, we turned back the clock with classic colour nods to his team’s beginnings that complement the growling, far-from-hibernating details that are straight out of mid-90s nostalgia.
Personal touch
Ja’s signature, logo and jersey number are sketched in his own handwriting.
Prepare for lift-off
A forefoot Air Zoom unit helps provide increased responsiveness and vertical acceleration. Plush cushioning in the midsole provides comfort when you come back to Earth after flying in the clouds.
