The Nike Ja 1 PE Wet Cement is part of a collaboration between Nike and NBA player Ja Morant. This basketball shoe offers the stabilizing technology found in all Ja 1 sneakers and applies a colorway inspired by Ja Morant’s style of play. Although the shoe features a Laser Orange, Iron Grey, and Black colorway, the dominant tone is bright orange. The upper is made of breathable mesh, while the mudguard and overlays are crafted from smooth leather. In terms of branding, the ‘Ja’ insignia can be found on the tongue and the number 12 is stitched across the leather heel tab. The sneaker boasts a Zoom Air unit in the midsole to cushion impact without adding weight. Something our experts love is the speckled grey outsole that looks like cement after the rain. This design and color palette represents the perseverance of players who train during all types of weather to improve their craft. The Nike Ja 1 PE Wet Cement was released on August 10, 2023, and retailed at $110.
