[Update 5 Apr 2024] Official images of the Nike Ja 1 “Bright Mandarin/Vapor Green” are in. The pair is set to drop on 19 April 2024 at a retail price of US$120. In the meantime, you can favorite the pair in your size on the SNKRDUNK App and get notified when prices fall.

Since Ja Morant’s hiatus from the NBA season due to an unfortunate shoulder injury, we’ve seen the Nike Ja 1 released in multiple colorways, such as “Murray State”, “Check”, and “Red Stardust”. This April, the Nike Ja 1 is back in a “Bright Mandarin/Vapor Green” colorway. This iteration of the shoe is mismatched intentionally, much like its predecessor in the “Hunger” colorway.

The left shoe in the pair is adorned in a Vapor Green hue, while the right is dressed in a vibrant Bright Mandarin shade. The pair is crafted from a combination of mesh, canvas, TPU, and ripstop materials for breathability and durability.

Splatter patterns are seen on the forefoot reinforcements, adding a subtle yet playful design element that adds depth and texture. The greyish-blue hues of the Swoosh and heel tab offer a nice serene contrast to the otherwise loud exterior.

Branding details include split colors on the Ja logo atop the tongue, and Ja Morant’s signature TMT on the lateral heel, further adding personality to the pair. The shoe’s completed with a tonal midsole and outsole, ensuring visual coherence.

The Nike Ja 1 “Bright Mandarin/Vapor Green” will be available in men’s (M) sizing at US$120, and gradeschool (GS) sizing at US$92. Get them at brick-and-click Nike stores and select retailers on 19 April 2024.
