After Ja Morant was shown flashing a gun on Instagram Live for the second time in two months, the player was suspended from all team activities, and everybody’s waiting to know the league’s decision on Ja’s future.
With all these developments, many people started wondering what would happen with Ja’s sponsors and deals. It seems like Nike is making a decision on Morant’s contract, as they removed every shoe from their official app.
“If you’re trying to cop a pair of Ja Morant’s signature sneakers, you’ll have to look somewhere other than Nike’s website, ’cause the NBA superstar’s kicks are nowhere to be found in the online store days after his 2nd gun incident,” TMZ Sports reports.
“The Ja 1 athletic shoes were released on April 19, and have been very popular. However, when we looked on Nike’s site Thursday morning, the Morant sneakers were not available. In fact, outside of a few t-shirts, there isn’t anything Morant-related.”
Nike still has one upcoming shoe for Morant, but not on the official app. SNKRS will get this release, which is the site where special editions are sold.
“But, Nike hasn’t totally erased Morant’s sneakers. There’s a new mismatched ‘Hunger’ colorway that’s scheduled to be released on May 25 … and it still appears in the “Upcoming” section of Nike’s SNKRS app.”
If you like Morant’s shoes, there are other options to get them. While Nike has removed these shoes from their platform, retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods still have them, as well as secondary resellers like StockX and Flight Club.
This is something similar to what Nike did to Kyrie Irving, ending their relationship after the player shared an antisemite movie on social media. Things went down pretty quickly for Kyrie, and Ja could follow that same path.
Ja Morant Is Expected To Get A Big Suspension After Latest Gun Incident
Meanwhile, the rest of the NBA is discussing what will happen with Morant after yet another incident. While people like JJ Redick and Stephen Jackson defend him, others are disappointed with the Memphis Grizzlies star and want to see a real change in him.
Ja is one of the most talented players in the NBA and seeing him acting this way is sad. He needs to do better if he wants to stay in the league for a long time. Otherwise, he will be out of the association soon.
