The Nike Ja 1 is a basketball shoe that reflects Morant’s explosive and dynamic playstyle on the court. It features a mixture of mesh, leather, and TPU materials on the upper, providing breathability, durability, and support. The shoe also has a foam midsole with a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for responsive cushioning and a rubber outsole with a multi-directional traction pattern for optimal grip.

The Swoosh brand underlined their partnership with the enthusiastic athlete on their website, saying:

“Morant is Nike Basketball’s first Gen Z signature athlete. His bold, fearless style of play represents the evolution of the game and ignites a spark in modern basketball culture. Morant sets an example for Gen Z athletes everywhere as a leader who creates the future of the sport through his creativity, authenticity and style.”

The Nike Ja 1 “Sundial” colorway is inspired by the bright and cheerful colors of the season. It has a white leather base with a light blue mesh overlay on the toebox and midfoot. The leather panels near the forefoot and the TPU eyestays have a white, yellow, green, and blue camo pattern that adds some flair to the design.

The lace set and the tongue tag are green, while the tongue and sockliner are blue. The heel tab and heel overlay are aqua green and blue, respectively. The Swoosh logos on the sides are yellow, while the Ja logo on the tongue and the Nike logo on the heel are white. The midsole is white with blue speckles, while the outsole has a multi-color camo print that matches the upper.

If you are interested in this colorway, make sure to mark your calendars and stay tuned to the Swoosh’s online stores or get the SNKRS app for instant updates on the launch.


The Nike Ja 1 “Sundial” shoes are not the only colorway of Morant’s signature sneaker that will be dropping this summer. There are also three other launch colorways that will be releasing in men’s and grade school sizes: “Day 1,” “Phantom,” "EYBL," and “Game Royal”.
