Ja Morant’s debut silhouette, the Nike Ja 1, is one for the ages.

The economically priced sneaker maintains a level of cool only Ja could reach and is filled with personal details about the 23-year-old All-Star. Ja has already broken out a myriad of colorways of his upcoming sneaker, but at the event debuting the Nike Ja 1 an all-new, unworn colorway was unveiled.

The Nike Ja 1 “Scratch” is a homage to the iconic Vancouver Grizzlies colorway that was recently revitalized during the 2020 NBA season. The sneaker features a teal ballistic mesh base with matching leather overlays. Red accents highlight the sockliner of the shoe while claw marks drawn from the vintage Grizzlies logo appear throughout the silhouette including the midsole, the toe, and Swoosh. A brown tongue tag representing the Grizz mascot of yesteryear completes the look.

A release for the Nike Ja 1 “Scratch” has yet to be revealed but look for it to be released via Nike and select retailers 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
