The Oregon-based company Nike finally revealed his first Nike Ja 1 silhouette on Christmas Day. So, when will Ja Morant’s Nike shoes be available in the stores? The handful of the first segment of his shoes are to drop in the spring of 2023.

What will be their price? It is expected that these spoken off Cobalt blue shoes will be offered with a price label of $110 per pair for men. On the other hand, some variants of the same shoe could be available at $90 as well. That being said, this means that fans will have to plan their purchase keeping an eye on the market.

Given that Kyrie Irving’s shoe deal has been waived off by Nike, Morant seems to be another generational talent to make a name for himself with the big label. Given that the likes of Kevin Durant and LeBron James are already some of the biggest active players to have had players wearing their line of sneaker.

Perhaps just why Durant gave a massive shoutout to Ja Morant. Take a look at it-

Being the first member of the Gen Z to have landed a mega shoe deal, Morant and the company’s design team have been working on the silhouette for the past two years. Nike wanted to make sure that it will complement Ja Morant’s explosive playstyle while also displaying the upcoming generation of brilliance.
