The 2022-23 NBA season just got better for Ja Morant, who gets ready to face the Golden State Warriors today in a rematch from last season’s playoff. The talented point guard has been making a lot of noise this campaign thanks to his impressive performances, and now is set to premiere something that will make him closer to fans.
After Nike announced the end of their relationship with Kyrie Irving, it was reported that Ja Morant would be the next player to get a signature sneaker released under the company.
The expectations were high coming to this moment, and we’ve seen what Ja is bringing to the table with his sneaker debut. Ahead of the anticipated clash with the Golden State Warriors, the 2022 MIP shared the first look of his signature sneakers.
Ja Morant Shows His First Signature Shoes
Ja shared a video presenting the kicks, which look incredibly good. With the help of his daughter Kaari, Ja opened the box and showed the shoes to the world. The little girl was very excited about it, and her father was visibly happy.
The giftskii I’ve always dreamed of finally arrived. 🎁
Excited to share the #Ja1, dedicated to the 1 who inspires me the most. 💙

After that, sneaker insider Nick de Paula shared more details about the shoes with a pic of the same. Moreover, he explained the meaning behind Morant’s logo, which made a lot of noise among fans recently.

The JA logo features his name above a chevron, representing his family mantra:
“As a kid, whenever I wondered if I was good enough, my parents would say: ‘You're beneath no one.’ And that's how I want everyone to feel when they wear the Ja 1 – that they're beneath no one.” pic.twitter.com/L8wSjfPg7p

Morant will debut these shoes tonight, as the Grizzlies take on the Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors. He hopes that the Ja 1s bring luck to him, as Ja is keen to take revenge after the Dubs took him and the Grizzlies out of the playoffs last campaign.
He’s been very confident recently, saying he’s not worried about anybody in the West, and the Warriors will surely try to change that tonight.
