Ja Morant, a player for the Memphis Grizzlies, responded on Tuesday to Natasha Cloud, a member of the New York Liberty, wearing his latest sneaker.
Recently, the debut of Ja Morant’s distinctive shoes went viral on social media. Morant is a point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies and a two-time NBA All-Star.
From their Tuesday public debut, the Nike Ja 3 sneakers have been selling like hotcakes, quickly becoming the market leader in basketball footwear.
On Tuesday night, Morant took a trip to New York to be in attendance for the New York Liberty’s home game against the Indiana Fever, showing love for a few WNBA stars and showing off his newest shoe.
Via New York Liberty: “. @JaMorant shows love after the Libs secure the W🔥💪:
Via SLAM Kicks: “From the Bronx to Brooklyn
Ja pulled up to the Liberty’s game and swapped his Nike Ja 3 “NYvsNY” with Sab’s “Blueprint” Nike Sabrina 3.”
Liberty star Natasha Cloud was wearing the Nike Ja 3 “Max Volume” on Tuesday night in their home win over the Caitlin Clark-less Fever. Ja Morant took to X (formerly Twitter) to show love for Cloud after she repped his newest shoe.
After a brief stint with the Phoenix Mercury and eight years with the Washington Mystics, Cloud is now in her rookie season with the Liberty.
Even though the former WNBA champion wears Converse more often than Nike (according to kixstats), she showed her respect for Nike on Tuesday night by wearing their latest drop in support of Morant.
Many are eagerly anticipating next season, when they can witness Morant play in his new shoes and see what other colorways he releases.
Fans React to Ja Morant’s Post
The Memphis Grizzlies lucked out in the 2019 NBA Draft. While they did not land the first overall pick, they were able to select one of the most talented second-overall picks in recent memory, Ja Morant.
Through his first six years in the NBA, Morant has won Rookie of the Year, made two All-Star appearances, made All-NBA Second Team, and finished top 12 in MVP voting twice.
Of course, he has struggled to stay on the court recently, but he has proven himself as possibly the most electric player in the NBA.
The NBA is highlighting some of the NBA’s top dunks of the season for their “NBA Dunk Week,” and to nobody’s surprise, Ja Morant is the star of the show. The NBA recently posted one of Morant’s dunks of the season, when he double-clutched for a reverse dunk against the Boston Celtics.
Via NBA: “Drive.
Clutch.
Clutch.
Reverse.
Flush.
JA THINGS for NBA DUNK WEEK! @ATT”
Many fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to react to the NBA’s post of Morant.
“He one of dem ones fosho,” one fan commented.
“That’s the kind of highlight reel energy that gets the crowd hyped—JA bringing the heat for Dunk Week!” another fan said.
“That was so sick,” a fan replied.
