Nike Ja 1 | Ja Morant’s First Signature Shoe

[Magic33]

Do they feel awkward bulky on feet?

No, but the seem more wide foot friendly, which I'm not used to. I'm someone who likes the narrowness of KD's and Kyrie's.

They don't seem to look as bulky on as they do just holding them in hand. I think it's just the material choice and them having an actual tongue.

They also seem to be a tad higher off the ground than the typical Kyrie, and the Tatum which I wore yesterday. Maybe because Ja is a more explosive player.

For the most part on first wear I like them. I can feel the airbag, and I haven't always felt that in the early Kyrie's and PG's. They make me want to go back and wear the early PG's and Giannis 1 and 2, but off hand I prefer them to the early model Kyrie, PG's and Giannis'.

PG 2s still one of my favorites to play in. Liking that it sounds similar.

Patience, it’s coming homie

The Chimney colorway

Only other color I like, other than the ones that just dropped, of the colorways we’ve seen thus far

 

[montemex23]

Nike has a hit with its Signature Athlete models when they really do Preheat/ PE colorways. I feel bad for Gianis , there hasn’t been 1 colorway of any model that was a must have

I definitely appreciate the breakdown of what you think of them. I was wondering myself what they would compare too. I normally play in brons given my height and weight. I also have 2 pair of KD 14’s and bron 2’s. I love Kyrie 5’s but the price is ridiculous for a pair new lol

I’m hoping for a full “midnight” release (lol)....if not hopefully and another dope black colorway

 

[kungfu koala]

they’re very clunky looking down on them.

like my yeezy slides

i’d post a pic but i can’t get a pic good enough where i wouldn’t become a niketalk meme

been a Ja fan since murray state though so for $100 i had to get them

also they’re insanely uncomfortable

Word to Magic33 .
Get u some Kobes cuhh. Maybe Kyries even.

Sitting at my local foot locker. These are nice!

 

[23mj88]

Other than materials being complete trash. I dig them performance wise.

This angle looks weird. Midfoot shape especially

 

[maldonado]

Local footlocker came thru clutch

For $110 these an easy cop

 

[phillip]

For the price point, I think these turned out/feel great!

 

[Baller_1000]

I can look passed cheaper materials on budget shoes but comfort . Zion 1s had full length air strobel and a zoom bag. They could have did better.

Cheap materials is an understatement. These shoes look horrific

 

[jayzigotem]

Very comfortable. I wear a half size up usually in these newer model basketball shoes. They fit perfect

 

[maldonado]

There’s some angry pitchforked consumers up in here



Oh da horror (where’s ninJA to make sense of this)

 

[dasitmane]

My pair doesn’t get in until some time next week you guys got me itching to play in them

Was told Trivias will release May 4th from my local FTL.

 

[maldonado]

[maldonado]

Guessing we won’t get these Day 1 PE’s?

Joints are dope

 

[raptorsundefeated]

Ja balling out here in the 4th in the Day One.
