The 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend is just around the corner, and while Ja Morant won’t be there for it this year, he’s continuing his prolific sneaker output. Following the hype generated by the “Chinese New Year” colorway, the Nike Ja 1 “Check” will be dropping in time for the mid-season showcase event.

The “Check” colorway boasts a striking mix of Black, Wolf Grey, Racer Blue, Bright Crimson, Bright Mandarin, and Volt. Exuding energy and vitality, there are also several details which make this sneaker unique.

The shoe’s tongue has a badge-inspired design on it while the insoles display calendar reminder graphics. The standout detail, however, has to be the outsole which carries one of Ja’s most memorable tweets: “Now I’m proud to say I work for the check”—the quote from which this colorway derives its name.

To be released on 2 February 2024, the Nike Ja 1 “Check” is available on Nike’s website and select retailers, both online and in-store. It’s available in men’s sizing at a price of US$140 as well as GS sizing at US$105.
