Nike Ja 2 “Stargazer” Captures Morant’s Gravity-Defying Game

Just last month, Nike Basketball introduced Ja Morant’s second signature shoe aptly dubbed the Nike Ja 2.

The Ja 2, Morant’s sophomore signature sneaker, builds on everything that made the Ja 1 special while pushing boundaries even further. Just like its namesake’s evolution from rookie sensation to NBA superstar, this silhouette represents growth and refinement.

As part of the inaugural lineup, Nike will be dropping another heater for their highest-flying signature athlete with the Ja 2 “Stargazer”, and it’s a colorway that perfectly captures Morant‘s gravity-defying game. This cosmic-inspired iteration tells the story of a kid from South Carolina who reached for the stars and grabbed them.

The “Stargazer” comes dressed in deep purple hues with iridescent accents that catch light like distant stars. The design team didn’t just throw together some space-themed colors – they created a visual representation of Ja’s “beneath the stars” motto that’s guided him from unranked recruit to NBA sensation.

Tech-wise, this shoe is built for flight. The cushioning setup features a forefoot Zoom unit specifically tuned for explosive players who play above the rim. The support system, with its dynamic fit band, keeps you locked in.

Mark your calendars as the Nike Ja 2 “Stargazer” will be released on October 8 via Nike.com and select retailers for $120. Keep it locked to Nice Kicks on Instagram and our sneaker release dates page to stay on top of the latest news and drops.
