Ja 1 "Scratch"

Ja Morant became the superstar he is today by repeatedly sinking jumpers on crooked rims, jumping on tractor tires and dribbling through sun-stained traffic cones in steamy South Carolina summers. The Ja 1 is a testament to his rise. With Zoom Air, it supports bunny hops and hyper speed without sacrificing comfort, so that you can control your own destiny on the court, Ja-style. This special design pays homage to Ja’s in-your-grill, on-your-head style with homages to his favorite dunk and his team's heritage.

Grind City-Raised

The bear claw-like slashes on the upper and midsole pay homage to the "backscratcher," Ja's famed 2-handed rim-rattling dunk, which sends opponents into the fetal position and fans racing to their timelines. Plus, we turned back the clock with classic color nods to his team's beginnings up North that complement the growling, far-from-hibernating details.

Personal Touch

Ja’s signature, logo and jersey number are sketched in his own handwriting.

Prepare for Liftoff

A forefoot Zoom Air unit helps provide increased responsiveness and vertical acceleration. Plush cushioning provides comfort when you come back to Earth after skying in the clouds.

Stay Supported

A containment system and forefoot strap help keep your ankle and heel stable, so that you’re in control and always supported whether you’re changing directions at high speeds, springing toward the rim or staying in front of shifty ball-handlers on defense.
