With Ja Morant currently facing a 25 game suspension for conduct detrimental to the league, it is very unlikely that he’ll be an All-Star this season due to lack of games played. Despite this, Nike has created a special “All-Star” colorway of his signature Nike Ja 1 which is showcased below. Highlighted by its multicolor appearance, this Nike Ja 1 features a color makeup of Black, Wolf Grey, Racer Blue, Bright Crimson, Bright Mandarin, and Volt as the sneaker will definitely be turning some heads. Design highlights include special tongue tags and graphic insoles depicting a calendar, and blue-tinted translucent outsoles which read “Now I’m proud to say I work for the Check.” referencing a Ja Morant tweet from 2019.
Check out the Nike Ja 1 “All-Star” (Check) below and look for a release to take place on February 2nd for $140.

UPDATE (1/29): Nike officially announces the Nike Ja 1 “Check” which would have been his All-Star sneaker had he not been injured. A release will be taking place via SNKRS and select retailers on February 2nd for $140.
“All my life, my parents worked for a check. Now I’m proud to say I work for The Check.” Ja fulfilled a childhood dream when he signed on the dotted line, making things official-official with a coveted Nike badge—an all-access pass at our World Headquarters campus. This design celebrates Ja’s love for the Swoosh and his elevation from long-time brand admirer to signature ambassador. The included replica of Ja’s employee badge is a great reminder to chase your dreams. You never know what doors they might unlock.
UPDATE (1/24): Unveiled back in November, we now have official images of the Nike Ja 1 All-Star to share with you. Official imagery spotlights the unique details such as the a tongue with a badge-inspired design and insoles housing calendar reminder graphics.
