Although Winter is just about here, Ja Morant and Nike Basketball have us thinking about BBQs with their upcoming release. Releasing in December, we have the Nike Ja 1 “Backyard BBQ”, which is a kids exclusive.
Nike Basketball has a knack for storytelling, helping the signature athlete express what he loves and their hobbies, on and off the court. Regarding Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant, one of his favorite things to eat, and many others, is BBQ. Launching exclusively in grade school sizes, we have the “Backyard BBQ” Nike Ja 1 releasing in the Holiday 2023 season.
This Nike Ja 1 comes dressed in a vibrant Blue Joy, White, Geode Teal, and Safety Orange color combination. It is crafted with a blend of mesh and leather, featuring a Blue base with Teal mudguards and heel tabs. The shoe sits atop a speckled Grey midsole and an Orange rubber outsole. What sets this pair apart is the Nike fire graphic on the tongues, boldly proclaiming, “On Fire Since ’99,” paying homage to Morant’s birth year. And if you take a peek inside, you’ll discover insoles adorned with BBQ essentials like hamburgers, hotdogs, ribs, and drinks, accompanied by fiery Swoosh logos that resemble a sizzling grill.
