Ja Morant became the superstar he is today by tirelessly shooting on crooked rims, jumping on tractor tires and dribbling through traffic cones in steamy South Carolina summers. The Nike Ja 1 "Hunger" Men's Basketball Shoe is a testament to his rise. With Zoom Air, it supports bunny hops and hyper speed without sacrificing comfort, so that you can control your own destiny on the court. "Day One" pays homage to Ja's hometown roots and the people who are the driving force to his personal ascension.
Features
Personal Touch
The handwritten repeating 12 a.m. graphic speaks to his mindset to approach every day with a grind mentality. Ja’s signature, logo and jersey number are also sketched in his own handwriting.
Prepare for Liftoff
A forefoot Zoom Air unit helps provide increased responsiveness and vertical acceleration. Plush cushioning in the midsole provides comfort when you come back to Earth after skying in the clouds.
Land Softly
A containment system and forefoot strap help keep your ankle and heel stable, so that you’re in control and supported whether you’re changing directions at high speeds, springing toward the rim or staying in front of shifty ball-handlers on defense.
Lightweight, breathable material on the upper helps keep your feet cool.
The JA 1 "Hunger" is a high-performance basketball shoe with a bold, vibrant red and blue colorway design, allowing you to make a statement with every step.
