Nike JA 1 Basketball Shoes

Ja Morant became the superstar he is today by repeatedly sinking jumpers on crooked rims, jumping on tractor tyres and dribbling through traffic cones in steamy South Carolina summers. The JA 1 is a testament to his rise. With an Air Zoom unit, it supports bunny hops and hyper speed without sacrificing comfort so that you can control your own destiny on the court, Ja-style.

Behind the design

Whether he's chilling poolside, catching a women's pro game or posting up courtside supporting the young hoopers, Ja attracts all the eyeballs. And with this drippy, mismatching pair, you're sure to turn heads too. Peep the pool bottom tile-like hits and wade back and forth between balmy orange and wavy greens as you rise above defenders en route to the rim.

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.

Land softly

A containment system and forefoot strap help keep your ankle and heel stable. So you're in control and supported whether you're changing direction at high speeds, springing towards the rim or staying in front of shifty ball-handlers defensively.

More benefits

• The lightweight, breathable material on the upper helps keep your feet cool.
• A raised foam collar adds ankle support.
