A new Nike Ja 1 is dropping in two weeks from now.

There have been some great signature sneaker releases so far this year, including the Nike Ja 1. Although Ja Morant has had his fair share of issues off the court, he was certainly great on the court this season. Overall, the Nike Ja 1 got to be a huge part of that. Nike is sticking by Ja's side, and fans are happy to see it. So far, the first signature shoe out of Memphis has given us some amazing colorways. The storytelling has been off the charts, and Nike has every intention of keeping that up.

Throughout the summer, fans can expect a whole host of amazing Ja Morant sneakers to hit the market. With the Nike Ja 1 gaining traction, fans are going to want as many options as possible. Overall, the best way to build hype is by creating a ton of new offerings. While some argue this is oversaturation, this would be a mistake. This is a strategy that works with the Air Jordan 1 and some of Nike's other iconic silhouettes. Consequently, it could certainly work with Ja Morant's first shoe.

The latest Nike Ja 1 colorway to be shown off is this "Hunger" model. As you can immediately see, the shoe is mismatched. Firstly, the left shoe mostly has a red mesh upper, with the outsole giving us a dose of blue. Secondly, the right shoe is flipped with a blue mesh upper and some red on the outsole. Lastly, the midsole is black with some orange speckles throughout. We even get black on the Nike swoosh, for good measure.
