Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 “Let Me Be Ja” Set for November Release
Nike and NBA star Ja Morant are teaming up once again – this time for a bold new twist on an all-time classic. The Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 “Let Me Be Ja” is set to release in early November 2025, with select retailers dropping pairs on November 2nd and 5th, while Nike.com will launch the shoe officially on November 4th at a retail price of $125.
This collaboration marks a new chapter in Morant’s growing footwear journey, following his successful signature basketball line with Nike. First teased by the All-Star guard on Instagram earlier this year, the “Let Me Be Ja” colorway stands out for its sleek black and yellow palette and unique design cues that reflect Morant’s personal style and energy on and off the court.
The shoe features a reimagined Nike Air Force 1 silhouette, replacing the traditional side Swoosh with a smaller, angled version reminiscent of the Ja 3’s midsole design. The medial side boldly displays the phrase “Let Me Be Ja,” while the heel is stamped with “12:AM” branding – a nod to Morant’s jersey number and relentless work ethic. Additional personalized touches include embossed Ja logos and a “TMT” lace dubrae.
The collaboration underscores Nike’s ongoing effort to blend basketball heritage with lifestyle appeal. Over the years, similar partnerships with legends like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kyrie Irving have redefined how signature athletes connect with the iconic Air Force 1 line.
With the “Let Me Be Ja” edition, Morant cements his place in that lineage – bringing his unmistakable flair to one of Nike’s most beloved sneakers. Fans can expect the pair to sell out quickly when it drops this November.
