The Nike Ja 1 “Scratch” is a colorway of Ja Morant’s first signature shoe designed in the team uniform colors of the former Vancouver Grizzlies. Nicknamed the “Scratch,” this turquoise-based colorway shows appreciation for the Memphis Grizzlies’ history, particularly its time in Vancouver, where the Grizzlies were located during their entrance into the NBA in the mid-1990s. The shoe features a Rapid Teal mesh and leather upper with both materials appearing on various points on the design. A black Swoosh with white claw marks is found on either side. Additional claw scratches, undoubtedly a nod to the Grizzlies’ nickname, team mascot, and Ja’s aggressive style of play, are found on the lateral side of the shoe, particularly on the white midsole. Ja’s signature branding is found on the tongue and his “12” jersey number appears on the heel of the left and right shoe in tan and red, respectively.
