Swarovski Crystals Encrust Ja Morant’s Nike JA 1 “12 AM”

There’s no shutting down the grind for Ja Morant, who spent the wee hours of the morning in the gym working on his game. This relentless pursuit for greatness inspired this upcoming Nike JA 1 colorway, revealed for the first time via brand images.

Featuring an all-black colorway and a translucent outsole, this JA 1 strays from the wild colorways that we’ve seen thus far and opts for a colder approach to the upcoming silhouette. Beneath the icy sole is the message “It’s 12AM Somewhere”, nodding to Ja’s round-the-clock commitment to improving his game and the late nights he spent with his father training while the competition slept. Finally, Swarovski crystals encrust the entire Swoosh logo that wraps around the heel as well as the “12AM” lace-locks and the hangtag for a premium finish as an ode to Morant’s off-the-court style.

A release date has not yet been revealed, so stay tuned for more details on this Nike JA 1 “12 AM”.
