For his first signature shoe, the Ja Nike team did a solid job at giving the young star a decent starting point. From my experience, the cushion is responsive, and they fit like no other basketball shoe I've ever tried on. Although there are a few shortcomings, they come in various forms: namely between the questionable materials and inconsistent traction. With that being said, these are a great option to pick up for any game.My favorite part about the Ja 1 has to be the fit. It gives a je ne sais quoi feeling, but when you slide your foot in it just clicks. The collar is padded to provide plenty of stability, and the upper hugs your foot while being fairly breathable. On indoor courts I noticed the underfoot zoom unit giving me a decent amount of boost and didn't ... MoreFor his first signature shoe, the Ja Nike team did a solid job at giving the young star a decent starting point.

It gives a je ne sais quoi feeling, but when you slide your foot in it just clicks. The collar is padded to provide plenty of stability, and the upper hugs your foot while being fairly breathable. On indoor courts I noticed the underfoot zoom unit giving me a decent amount of boost and didn't grow as weary after a couple games as I would in other pairs I've owned and tried.Where this pair falls short is the traction. Indoors, it's definitely not a grippy shoe, more so inconsistent than an outright failure. But this is where this pair shines for me, it performs great outdoors. While by no means I would say it's durable enough for a whole year, if I'm looking for a pair to last me for a summer balling outdoors, these would be it. The rubber is more than durable enough for the grind of the court. I'm not sure if I could say the same for the overlays though, the materials used on the upper work, they're nice and breathable; however, I'm not sure if leather was the best option. A rough-out nubuck would've provided plenty of durability with the grain pattern and been more abrasion resistant to the outdoor grind.While not advertised for the task, I did also try these out at the gym to give me extra stability. I can't say they performed as well as more dedicated pairs, or even just something more flat, but the stability aspect is absolutely there. And with the zoom air cushion, I wouldn't be surprised if someone used these for HIIT (though I'd pray for their mental wellbeing).The Ja 1 isn't going to be the best basketball shoe ever - nobody's first will be their best. This shoe speaks to the importance of improvement over iterations, getting better and more fine tuned with every attempt, while still maintaining that core personality. But for those looking for a pair with a great, firm fit and plenty of potential for the outdoors, this one's for them.

It’s been a minute since I got a basketball shoe other than Jordans but I got a chance to pick up of pair these and since I’ve had them for a while, I feel like I’ve had time to gather my thoughts about them. Quick disclaimer: I know this is a basketball shoe, but my days of really playing ball are long gone, so this will be mostly a “lifestyle” review of this shoes.Going over the box quickly, it’s a simple but nice; it’s baby blue colored with like paint-like splashes of a darker blue that features both the Nike and Ja’s logo, as well as his number on the front and the number 12 written two ways or the sides. Now to the shoe, I would say that it’s aesthetically pleasing. I have the “Trivia” colorway, which consists of a predominately tan mesh and leather upper ... MoreIt’s been a minute since I got a basketball shoe other than Jordans but I got a chance to pick up of pair these and since I’ve had them for a while, I feel like I’ve had time to gather my thoughts about them.

Now to the shoe, I would say that it’s aesthetically pleasing. I have the “Trivia” colorway, which consists of a predominately tan mesh and leather upper with hits of blue and purple on the heel, blue ankle collar, a green Nike check that wraps around the heel, a white midsole, and orange tongue tag and sole. The colors really come together in a complementary way. At one point while I was in the gym, a stranger actually came up to me to tell me that they liked my shoes, just further reinforcing that these look good. As a stated in the opening, I really don’t ball that much anymore, but I did get on the court a little and put up some shots to see how the shoes feel doing what they are made for. Based on my experiences, I would say that these will get the job done for a lot of people. It’s a light shoe so it won’t feel heavy on your foot and it features a thick ankle collar, so you do feel locked in once you get the shoe on and tied up which is a good thing. Speaking about my feet quickly, I’m flatfooted so some narrow shoes end up clamping down on the sides of foot creating a pain after a while. I did not have a problem with this shoe as there is a solid amount of room in the forefoot area while still creating that lockdown seen in the ankle portion, so wide footed individuals should be fine with this shoe. You also get very good traction in the shoes and you are pretty low to the ground in them, so you shouldn’t have any problems with quick changes of direction or stopping and starting which makes sense as these are tailored to an explosive guard. That being said, cushioning in the shoe was surprising in its lacklusterness. There is an Air Zoom unit in the forefoot, but it must be a smaller one because I couldn’t really feel it at all while wearing the shoe. Comfort wise, in general I wouldn’t say that they are unconformable, but they are also not very comfortable either; they fall somewhere in the middle as the cushioning in them isn’t the best, so if you need more impact protection I would probably look else where.In terms of wearing these casually, these are solid. Lately basketball shoes are made for the purpose of being worn strictly on court, but these in particular lend themselves to be off the court as well. They are low-cut sneakers that are mostly a neutral color so they can go with a variety of outfits and color schemes. With them being as flat as they are, they make for good gym shoes and that’s where I wear them at predominately and will continue to do so, but I have worn them a few times at my job in the hospital setting and they held up well there and look good with scrubs.Overall, this is a fine shoe that will look to fill in the gap that the Kyrie Line occupied and I think they have a chance to do that. For me, these make great gym shoes and I will be wearing them for a long time there.

My expectations for this shoe were fairly muted but I was admittedly very pleasantly surprised across the board with respect to their fit and performance. The shoe itself is incredibly light and well-designed. I like the tag at the back of the heel which is unique compared to other shoes I have seen and the overall design is crisp and not overdone, including the color scheme which is my favorite of all the Ja 1s that I have seen thus far. In terms of fit, the shoe is incredibly comfortable. Over the last few years, I have become a low-cut only basketball shoe guy and have had mixed results across various options. I would rank these in that top tier along with the Kobes for overall performance. Initially, I was skeptical about the fit around the ankle as there is ... MoreMy expectations for this shoe were fairly muted but I was admittedly very pleasantly surprised across the board with respect to their fit and performance.

I snagged me a pair of these Ja Morant 1's because I really wanted to try a pair out. Nike never seemed to do a mass release of the Midnight colorway (other than in a pop-up store outside the Vivint Smart Home Arena for this year's All-Star game in Salt Lake City), so I went with this pair to get a feel for how these shoes felt. I was very impressed by them. A lot of player's basketball shoes these days are being modeled after the Kobe Bryant's (i.e. a low-top, almost soccer-like look to them, rather than the previously popular high tops that everyone seemed to sport in games) and these were no different. I've never really been much into this design but figured I would take a step into them and give 'em a try. I just always thought that they would not provide the ... MoreI snagged me a pair of these Ja Morant 1's because I really wanted to try a pair out.

I was very impressed by them. A lot of player's basketball shoes these days are being modeled after the Kobe Bryant's (i.e. a low-top, almost soccer-like look to them, rather than the previously popular high tops that everyone seemed to sport in games) and these were no different. I've never really been much into this design but figured I would take a step into them and give 'em a try. I just always thought that they would not provide the proper support that most high tops seems to offer. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised though! I still might not give them as much credit as the high top basketball shoes still, but they really DO provide some VERY good support. A big part of that, in these particular shoes anyway, has a great deal to do with the wide toe box provided. During quick cuts, the forefoot of these shoes provides a wide base of stability which, in turn, combined with the tight-like-a-glove fit around the foot as a whole, prevents the ankle from carrying out it's usual tendency to want to roll. This is great news for people like me that need that support. I've rolled my ankle one too many times and it is NEVER a good experience. Aesthetically speaking, I honestly think the super wide toe box is very unappealing but also understand that it was probably more so designed as such for practical rather than aesthetic purposes.As alluded to previously, these shoes fit like a glove, as they say. They are almost a bit difficult to get your feet into which worried me initially. I was quickly relieved, however, to feel that although they were tight getting into, once on, they felt VERY comfortable and I feel a great deal of that was due to the fact that they provide excellent support throughout the foot.The design of this particular colorway of the shoes is not my favorite. The colors just aren't colors I typically wear and I prefer to match the color of my clothes to the color of shoes I'm wearing. But as I stated earlier, I more chose these shoes to try out the fit and feel of them and not so much the aesthetics of them. There are some pretty cool little easter eggs around the shoes if you pay attention, including a facsimile of Ja Moran't signature on the rear laterals of the uppers as well as the toe of each shoe. On the rear medials of the uppers, there seems to be some sort-of scoreboard-looking makeout of "JA" within a dotted grid. Ja's daughter's name "Kaari" can be found on the medial side of the midsoles on both shoes. One other to point out would be all of the trivia-related questions found on the rear upper of the shoes. I don't personally know a ton about Ja Morant so I was left wondering, after reading the 'family trivia' questions, where the answers to the questions might be found. I haven't been successful in finding them as of yet.The fabric and material chosen to make up these sneakers is high quality. That was one of the first things I noticed upon putting on the shoes. I wasn't expecting the leather (used on the uppers to accentuate them) to feel as high of quality as it did but I was impressed. I was a little disappointed that the the jersey-looking material found on the uppers as well was not as breathable as it appears to be. It is simply a material to give a look and perforations penetrating all the way through to where the feet are encapsulated by the shoes does not exist. Due to the tight feel of the fit, I was often led to wonder if playing basketball in them would lead to extremely sweaty feet afterwards (I haven't had the chance to play any basketball in them just quite yet).Overall, the thing I like most about these shoes is the stability and comfort that they provide. I found them to be incredibly good shoes even for just walking around in. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good shoe to stabilize their feet during quick-cut activities such as basketball, or flag football perhaps. If I could change a couple of things about the shoe it would be the colors utilized and also perhaps the width of the toe box (simply for aesthetic purposes). Other than that, these shoes are a great product. Thanks Nike!

The outsole pattern is specifically designed to maximize traction, allowing for quick stops, explosive movements, and tight turns with complete confidence. I found myself able to make swift changes in direction without any slippage or loss of control. This superior grip is a game-changer, enhancing my agility and giving me a competitive edge.Beyond the shoe's performance features, the JA 1 also boasts an eye-catching design. Nike has combined sleek aesthetics with bold color choices, making these shoes a stylish statement on and off the court.

I highly recommend the JA 1 to any basketball player looking for a shoe that excels in comfort, grip, and style.
The Nike JA 1 shoes felt good once they got broken in a bit. At first they had a very stiff feel but that got better the more I wore the shoes. They do run a bit small in my opinion. I got my normal size but my toe hardly had any room and they fit snug all around the sides as well; I have narrow feet so I was surprised by how tight they felt around the edges, especially because the width of the shoe looked so wide upon viewing. I did like the design of the shoe and the coloring. All the details in the design gave it a unique flare, especially the tiny questions all along the back of the shoe. The nike logo wrapping all the way around the back of the shoe was also an interesting design that caught my eye. They even gave detail to the shoe lace, adding a touch of ... MoreThe Nike JA 1 shoes felt good once they got broken in a bit.

It had a breathable mesh in the right areas, plus durable material in areas that would get the most wear. Even the nike swoosh was done in a very durable plastic like material that made it have a nice 3D appeal as it wrapped around the back. The color design scheme and attention to detail is what I enjoyed most about this shoe. I like that it gives some insight into the life of the player it represents, always nice to make those connections through a good design. The only thing I would change is the fit, because it was a snug fitting shoe. But this could probably be done by just sizing up 1/2 a size when trying on the shoe.
The Nike JA 1 is a light, low cut, and cushioning basketball shoe that fits true to size and is made of quality materials. I really like the style and design of the shoe.They are supportive for playing basketball, and comfortable for casual wear.The JA 1 has a sleek design. The shoe seems to draw inspiration from older Kobe and KD models, as well as the newer Lebron model. I am a fan of the low top shoe for casual wear and basketball playing, but prefer a high too for more serious basketball games. The yellow sole, green swoosh, and blue lining make for a great color combination.

The shoe seems to draw inspiration from older Kobe and KD models, as well as the newer Lebron model. I am a fan of the low top shoe for casual wear and basketball playing, but prefer a high too for more serious basketball games. The yellow sole, green swoosh, and blue lining make for a great color combination. On foot, the shoe almost looks like a casual or running shoe, and not bulky like many basketball shoes can look when worn casually.What impressed me most about the shoe were the materials. The leather feels durable, and the mesh is strong. The insoles are cushioning feel like there may be an air unit in the sole. I can’t tell, but they are very comfortable and have a lot of give when running. The laces and tongue do squeak a bit when laced tight, which some people may find annoying.One thing about the shoe I would change is the material of the swoosh. It is made of a rubbery material that wraps around the shoe from the inner swoosh to the outer swoosh. The part of the swoosh is not stitched in on the shoe, so it almost functions as a heel loop. However, I am afraid to use it like a heel loop due to the rubbery material feeling like it could snap.Overall, I really like these shoes and have worn them for both casual wear and playing basketball. They are a great choice for their retail price.
As a busy mom of two energetic kiddos, I'm always on the lookout for shoes that can keep up with my active lifestyle. These Nike Ja 1 shoes definitely caught my eye!On the fit and feel. While I loved the bright colors and fashion-forward design, I did find them to be a bit on the smaller side. If you're considering these shoes, I would recommend sizing up by half a size to ensure a comfortable fit. Additionally, they felt a bit wide, which might be great for those with larger feet.Now, onto the design. These shoes are absolutely eye-catching! I love the personal touch of handwritten notes across the colors. It adds a special touch to the overall design and it's a fantastic detail that adds a unique flair.What I really love about these shoes is their ... MoreAs a busy mom of two energetic kiddos, I'm always on the lookout for shoes that can keep up with my active lifestyle.
