Ja Morant and Nike will be releasing big shoes soon

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is one of Nike’s biggest basketball stars. The point guard’s signature Ja 1 sneakers have been among the most popular in basketball since their release and continue to receive new and exciting iterations.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Morant would release the Me 1 special “NY vs. NY” is on the way to celebrate New York City’s strong basketball heritage, premiering in just nine days. The shoe has already appeared on Nike’s SNKRS app, and the following detailed description of the shoe is available on its website:

“Ja Morant became the superstar he is today by repeatedly melting jumpers on crooked rims, jumping on tractor tires and dribbling through traffic cones in a muggy South Carolina summer,” Nike wrote. “Me 1 is a testament to his development. With Air Zoom cushioning, it supports bunny jumps and hyperspeed without sacrificing comfort, so you can control your fate on the court.

About these special “NY vs. NY” Nike added: “And while Ja has a Southern vibe to her, from her roots to her soul, she has a certain swagger — a relentless will that is unique to New York. This special design is eye-catching, inspired by the undeniable tradition of basketball Mecca, with an added tribute to the girls’ and boys’ teams participating in the “NY vs. NY.” Radiant shades refer to Ja’s spectacular playing style, paying homage to the New York area – clock energy.

As with every Ja 1 edition, these shoes sell out quickly.
