The Memphis Grizzlies have had some trouble with star point guard Ja Morant in the past, but the human highlight reel is an undisputed star. Of course, he has faced a few controversies, but when he is on the court, he is undoubtedly a fan favorite. <\/p>\n
In 2019, Morant signed a multi-year shoe deal with Nike, and six years later, the star point guard is setting up for the launch of the “Ja 3.” Despite there once being talks about him being dropped from his Nike deal altogether, the company made the right decision to keep him on, as fans could not be more excited for his newest shoe.<\/p>\n

Morant has been teasing the new “Ja 3,” which is first releasing on Tuesday, with more colorways set to drop later in the Summer. Many fans and media outlets have shown love for the new shoe already, especially after Morant posted a video on his Instagram story of some of the colorways, with the caption, “appetizers.”<\/p>\n
