JA Morant
Even before being drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant had made the national news for his athleticism. Nike had signed Morant even before he got to the NBA. After signing with the Grizzlies, he has been rocking Nike shoes on and off the court. However, according to recent news Ja is set to sign a signature shoe deal with the sneaker giant.
After the monster 2021-22 season, Morant’s profile skyrocketed in the league and it was only a matter of time before the Grizzlies’ star would have his own signature shoes with the sneaker giant. The Griddy man is signing a signature shoe deal with Nike. According to The Athletic and Stadium, “Memphis Grizzlies All-NBA star Ja Morant is in line to receive a new signature shoe at Nike in the near future. The parties have been working on this for several months.”
Being one of the most lucrative shoe companies in the world, Nike has been able to sign the world’s biggest NBA stars. The biggest superstars in the league like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Giannis Antetokounmpo do have their own signature shoes.
When Nike broke its deal and cut ties with Kyrie Irving it obviously wanted another star to fill in the blank spot with. Morant is not only the perfect fit for the shoe brand right now but also for the future. Ja is a sensation among NBA executives and analysts, he is perhaps the most famous athlete among the younger generation.
