Nike continues to work with Memphis Grizzles superstar Ja Morant amid his inevitable NBA suspension, revealing the cotton candy-like “Ember Glow” Ja 1.

It’s hot pink upper paired with a blue raspberry Swoosh surrounding the heel makes it impossible for you to miss. The tongue tabs alternate between light purple and blue, as does the number “12” stitched on the heel. Thanks to the Zoom Air unit encapsulated in the white midsole and the herringbone-like outsole, you can fearlessly cut to the basket as you please.

Morant is phenomenal on the court, but he’s starting to build a track record of off-court issues. He was suspended indefinitely in March for holding a gun at a Denver nightclub, but the Grizzles welcomed him back after eight games. Not even two months later, Morant waved a gun around on his friend’s Instagram Live. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says he is waiting until the 2023 NBA Finals concludes to announce Morant’s latest suspension.

Barring any substantial developments, the Nike Ja 1 “Ember Glow” will release on the Nike SNKRS app on July 3rd and retail for $110.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
