It’s one of the hallmarks of NBA stardom- giving back to the next generation of hoopers via your own skills camp. Whether the little ones in your life are honing their basketball game this summer or headed for more traditional camp experiences, the Nike Ja 1 has them in mind with their next edition.

With a concerted use of pastels and neons, the deep magenta, goldenrod and seafoam that dress the mesh on the upper evoke a playful atmosphere. Visible yellow stitching radiating from the lace stays adds some extra pop along those same lines. However, traditional Grizzlies navy & grey anchors the shoe as outlines around those vibrant sections, keeping the shoe in somewhat grounded territory there.

Texturally, the heel cap and tongue are revamped in pink Velcro. It’s arguably the biggest draw for this GS Pair, bringing a ton of versatility and customization for the wearer with the four patches that arrive alongside the shoes.

The Nike Ja 1 “Welcome to Camp” is set to release in Grade School sizing on May 25th, retailing for $110. Just ahead you’ll find an official gallery of detailed images.

Staying on the basketball shoes side, the Nike KD 17 received detailed images ahead of their April 12th release.
