In November of 2022, Nike decided to part ways with Kyrie Irving after a successful seven-year shoe partnership. Known for their willingness to take a stand on controversial issues, Nike has also shown support for athletes like Colin Kaepernick.
Following a tough year for NBA rising star Ja Morant, Nike made the decision to temporarily remove his debut shoe from their website in May of 2023. Despite this, other retailers continued to sell his shoe online, sparking concerns about its future availability.
With nearly 30 different color variations of his first signature shoe, news recently surfaced that the second version is set to be released:
FIRST LOOK: Nike Ja 2 “Stargazer”
Ja Morant and Nike are gearing up to launch the second signature model in October for $120. Full family sizes will be available.
