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 motivation—the Morant family and the warm memories they created back in the day in the backyard. Grind City-Raised As a kid, Ja loved when his dad hopped on the grill and cooked up hot dogs, burgers and chicken legs after a young Ja and his friends hooped from sunup to sundown in the Morant backyard. Family means everything to Ja. They’re the fuel to his fire, the drive to get it done on the court. This special design pays homage to those Morant family barbecues and the fond memories made. 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.
