Ja Morant became the superstar he is today by practicing his game anytime and anywhere. For him, that meant perfecting his shots and dribbling through traffic cones on a concrete court his dad built. The Ja 1 “Backyard BBQ” pays tribute to that backyard where Ja honed his skills and hosted weekly barbecues for family and friends. Lightweight, breathable, and supportive, these shoes are ready for you to lace up and chase your dreams from the start. Celebrate every win just like Ja and his loved ones do. This edition of the Ja 1 draws inspiration from the backyard barbecues and the homemade concrete court where Ja grew up. Designed for high-speed direction changes and explosive leaps toward the rim, the containment system keeps your ankle and heel stable. Ja Morant is a must-see player, a viral highlight reel with hops that seem trampoline-assisted. Plush foam cushioning softens your landing after sky-high jumps and reduces the impact of both vertical and horizontal movements, emphasizing a smooth heel-to-toe transition.
