The Nike Ja 1 "Family Trivia" men's shoe drops May 4 at Hibbett | City Gear.

Ja Morant led the Memphis Grizzlies this season with a cool 26.2 points per game. Now, the 23-year-old point guard is also leading Nike Basketball to a new age. Morant just debuted his first signature sneaker with Nike, the Nike Ja 1 "Day One," and secondary colorways are on the horizon.

One such new colorway is the Nike Ja 1 "Trivia." Dressed in Phantom, Action Green, Action Grape, Laser Orange, University Blue and white, it's a sneaker that looks like it belongs in the early '90s. See what we mean when you add it to your cart in men's sizes on May 4.

An off-white mesh upper looks like it's faded from white over the years, giving these shoes a retro look. Leather overlays around the toe and forefoot give the shoe a little stability while still helping it stay lightweight.

Phantom laces cross over a Phantom tongue, though it does feature golden branding at the top. You'll see Ja's custom logo in black— a very pointed and elongated "J" and "A" that calls to mind the old logos for Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant.

The back of the tongue and ankle padding are University Blue, which offers nice contrast to the black insole. As a nod to the shoe's name, the insole is covered with trivia questions about Ja in green yellow, orange, blue and red. Examples include "How many siblings does Ja Morant have?" and "What college did Ja Morant attend?"

The heel is where this shoe lets loose with an explosion of color. A solid green line separates the purple top half from the blue bottom half. This green line wraps around the shoe to form a Nike Swoosh on both middle sides of the shoe.

The purple top half of the heel includes an embroidered red "12" as well as more trivia questions about Ja. The bottom half includes Ja's signature in a black scrawl. All of this sits on a crisp white outsole and a golden outsole. A final Morant logo appears in black on the heel.

These basketball shoes don't look as fierce as some of the other entries on the market, so we think they'd be great to wear straight from an afternoon matchup to a casual dinner with your pals. Pair them with white crew socks to bring out the white of the midsoles, and pick one of the other various colors in the shoe for your shorts and tank.

There's no question about it—the Nike Ja 1 "Trivia" are a must-have for your collection. They'll be dropping in men's sizes on May 4, online and at your local Hibbett | City Gear.

This is expected to be a popular drop, so if you aren't fast enough on the trigger, follow our sneaker launch calendar so you can try again with a different Ja 1 colorway.
