Although the Memphis Grizzlies have completely revamped their uniforms and team identity, the classic teal jersey from the 1990s still strikes that nostalgic chord. Nike’s treatment of the Ja 1 in the “Scratch” was such a hit for this retro look, so fans who have that vintage fever should look forward to this next pair of Ja Morant Shoes in April.
Nike once again remixes this iconic Vancouver Grizzlies palette, opting for a primary base of Coconut Milk, adding accents of Dusty Cactus Teal and University Red to add the perfect touches that nod to this retro jersey. The khaki-colored heel matches the tongue label, which features JA’s signature logos in alternating colors. Adding that bear claw “scratch” graphic to the midsole would have been a killer finish, but this lifestyle-friendly look is tough nonetheless.
This Nike Ja1 due out in April for $120; see official images coming soon.
