In Photos: Ja Morant's Nike 'Ja 2' unveiled ahead of Grizzlies star's 6th NBA season

Ja Morant’s Nike Ja 1 was released in April 2023. After nearly one-and-a-half years, the shoe giant has decided to release the Nike Ja 2 'Stargazer' ahead of the next NBA season. One of the reasons that the release was delayed was because Morant missed most of last season due to injury.

After Nike released their first line of Morant’s sneaker, Ja 1, it was one of the best-selling sneakers in the NBA. After much wait, the sneaker giant is releasing Nike Ja 2, 'Stargazer', which will sync with the Memphis Grizzlies superstar’s fresh start in the NBA.

Morant’s Ja 2 has a different style and construction than Ja 1, especially in terms of cut. The newest version has a higher cut whereas the first line of Ja’s sneakers was low in cut. The shoe also features a narrower upper mesh, making it highly breathable. The rest of the upper has a ripple design.

The logo placement is similar to Ja 1 with Morant’s logo placed on the tongue. The heel of the sneaker also features Morant’s personalized signature. The shoe is especially designed for players like Morant who often use higher elevation in their game.

The price of Ja 2 is as same as his previous sneaker Ja 1. The shoe will be sold for $120 across all retail shops as well as online.

Ja Morant is one of the most famous athletes in America among young fans. His sneakers have been hot among the young basketball fans and Ja 2 is just another good news for them.

Nike released Ja Morant's Nike Ja 1 'Personal Touch' colorway in May

Earlier in May, before Nike decided to release the next line of Ja Morant sneakers, the brand decided to launch the latest version of the Nike Ja 1, the 'Personal Touch'. The official look of the sneaker has a fine touch of aesthetics and comfort.

The Nike Ja 1 'Personal Touch' colorway has a black mesh upper with reddish-purple color at the front and back to add to the aesthetic of the shoe. The tongue of the sneaker has Ja Morant’s official logo in yellow color sitting at the top with reddish-purple background.

The tongues are personalized and the logos are handwritten on the front and back. The Nike Swoosh design is in cream color.

The 'Personal Touch' has all the specifications of the Nike Ja 1 with a mesh upper that makes the shoe lightweight and breathable. The forefoot of the sneaker has Air Zoom and the midsole is supported by high-quality material.

Just as before, the Nike Ja 1 'Personal Touch' is excellent in responsiveness and perfect for athletes with high vertical elevation.

The Nike Ja 1 Personal Touch colorway was officially launched on May 1, 2024. The shoe is available in retail shops and Nike website for $120 for adult sizes and $92 for kids sizes.
