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 "NYx NY" 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. New York, New York While Ja is Southern vibes from his roots to his soul, there’s a certain swagger to him, a relentless will that’s oh so New York City. This special design draws inspiration from the basketball Mecca’s undeniable storied tradition, with a special shoutout to those girls’ and boys’ teams taking part in the “NY vs. NY” tournament. The radiant, tones relate to Ja’s spectacular, high-wire style of play while paying homage to NYC’s uninterrupted, round-the-clock energy. 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. Land Softly A containment system and forefoot strap help keep your ankle and heel stable. That way, 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 defensively. Personal Touch Ja’s signature, personal logo and jersey number are sketched in his own handwriting.
