Air Force Friday: “Let Me Be Ja” — Ja Morant’s Air Force 1 Makes Its Mark 👟🏀

Every Air Force Friday comes with a story, and this week’s pair taps into the energy of one of the league’s most electrifying players. The Ja Morant Air Force 1 “Let Me Be Ja” isn’t just a colorway — it’s a statement about individuality, confidence, and the kind of play style that can’t be coached.

@dr.greg.grovey brought these into the studio for a closer look, and the details tell a bigger story than the first glance lets on. The shoe mixes Sundial and Black across a traditional AF1 leather build, but the execution feels bolder and more intentional than a standard GR. The Cobalt topstitching cuts sharply against the upper, giving the shoe a layered, athletic feel without adding visual clutter. It’s the type of pair that stands out without shouting — exactly the kind of balance Ja’s off-court style leans toward.

With AF1 culture running deep and Ja cementing himself as one of basketball’s most creative athletes, this release hits at the intersection of legacy and new-age identity. Nike doesn’t often attach athlete storytelling to Air Forces, so when they do, the pair tends to resonate far beyond the basketball court.

The raffle for this release is officially closed, but if you’re still hunting, both of our boutiques can update you on leftover pairs, sizing, or upcoming drops. Like all good AF1 releases, the follow-up conversations always happen in-store first.
