Ja 1 "Midnight"

Ja Morant became the superstar he is today by repeatedly sinking jumpers on crooked rims, jumping on tractor tires and dribbling through 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. This special design pays homage to Ja’s dogged, round-the-clock work ethic, the relentless will to grind while the competition rests, and his status as a rising cultural icon.

Behind the Design

"Midnight" nods to both Ja’s glitz and his game. Swarovski crystals on the extended Swoosh design and Ja’s logo speak to his on- and off-court flash. And a glittery outsole with an "IT"S 12 AM SOMEWHERE" graphic speak to the work Ja puts in the dark, so he can shine when it’s on go.

Personal Touch

The handwritten repeating 12 a.m. graphic speaks to his mindset to approach every day with a grind mentality. Ja’s signature, logo and jersey number are also sketched in his own handwriting.

Prepare for Liftoff

A forefoot Zoom Air unit helps provide increased responsiveness and vertical acceleration. Plush cushioning in the midsole 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 supported whether you’re changing directions at high speeds, springing toward the rim or staying in front of shifty ball-handlers on defense.
