The Nike Ja 1, Morant’s debut signature shoe, was a massive hit with over 25 different colorways sold to the retail masses. Another handful of limited editions were boxed up for industry VIPs. A few other creations could only be copped if an NBA player had a Nike-exclusive deal.

Thankfully, fans looking to sport the Nike Ja 2 will have five different options to choose from for the Thanksgiving Dinner dunk-offs.

  • Induction – Multi-Color/Multi-Color

Morant will have at least one more Player Edition option beyond what was featured on his Instagram story. The Murray State alum gave a nod to the Hall of Fame college days with a cool purple tone. Perhaps those could be paired with the Morant Nike Ja 2 Christmas editions once the season starts.

Morant has averaged 22.5 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game over five seasons. Last year was cut short due to a 25-game suspension to start and then shoulder surgery in January.

Still, two All-Star Game selections, a Rookie of the Year win, and an NBA Most Improved Player award sit on the mantle. It's easy to see why the 25-year-old is a key figure in Nike’s marketing strategy. As Morant prepares for a comeback season, the excitement around his new shoes and return to the Grizzlies' rotations is starting to become undeniable.
