Nike is continuing its push behind Ja Morant with a new twist: the Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "NY vs NY". While the Memphis Grizzlies star is mostly associated with his signature performance models, this AF1 collab hints at an expansion of his Nike portfolio.

The shoe features a sleek Black/Cobalt Bliss-White colorway (style code: IQ9770-001) with a gum outsole for contrast. Embroidered details and a reflective “JA” logo on the heel suggest that this isn’t just a simple rebranding—it’s a tribute to both Ja and New York’s iconic streetball scene.

Not Just Another Air Force 1

Let’s be real: the Air Force 1 is one of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes. But with the “NY vs NY” version, Nike might be trying to breathe new life into the lifestyle side of Ja’s footwear line. Will it spark massive hype? Probably not. But it’s definitely a clean take that many will find wearable.

At the moment, only early mock-ups are circulating. There’s no official release date, and nothing has been confirmed by Nike or Ja himself.

Keep an Eye on Future Drops

Even if this pair doesn’t cause a resell frenzy, it marks a strategic step by Nike to keep Ja relevant in both sportswear and lifestyle. And who knows—if it lands well, we might see more Air Force-based collabs from Morant in the future.
