The Nike Ja 1 Hunger Releases September 8th
In April, the basketball world witnessed the debut of Ja Morant's inaugural signature shoe, the Nike Ja 1. Since its highly-anticipated launch, Ja Morant has made headlines for his performance off and on the court.
The latest addition to the Morant signature series boldly embraces a mismatched aesthetic, featuring vibrant "Royal Blue" and "University Red" hues in a daring color-blocking design. This striking contrast pays homage to the electrifying and often unpredictable moves that define Morant's on-court prowess. Despite the unconventional color play, the shoe strikes a harmonious balance with a sleek jet-black tone adorning the mid-foot Swoosh, nylon collar trim, and the Zoom Air midsole embellished with orange speckles.
Beyond just colors, each element of the shoe's design reflects opposing themes, resulting in a unique look while on the court. The left shoe boasts a vibrant red base layer, while the right counterpart showcases deep shades of blue. This theme of contrast extends throughout, from the herringbone-patterned outsole to the laces and heel tabs, ensuring a truly unique and attention-grabbing look from all angles.
Originally released earlier this year in May, the Nike Ja 1 Hunger is set to re-release at select Nike Basketball retailers, Nike.com, and on the Nike SNKRS app on Saturday, September 8th for $110.
