The Memphis Grizzlies season may be over, but Ja Morant's fans certainly have a lot to look forward to in the sneaker department.
The Nike Ja 2 x Kool-Aid has officially arrived, and is set to drop on May 16. The shoes, which are designed in a "Mixed Berry" colorway, are priced at $130 in adult sizes, and will be available to shop via the Nike SNKRS app, Foot Locker and other select retailers. The pair includes one shoe in a bright red color with matching red laces (seemingly modeled after the cherry/strawberry Kool-Aid flavors), and an additional bright green color with matching green laces that may be drawing reference to the tropical Kool-Aid flavor.
Additional features include a glow-in-the-dark rubber outsole, Nike Air Zoom cushioning in the forefront of the shoe to provide comfort and elevated performance and the words "Ohhh" and "Yeah!" on the tongue. There's also a few specs that are centered solely towards the Nike Ja models.

This includes a breathable lightweight mesh upper, the Air Zoom unit and a molded mid-foot panel to assist with seamless traction and easy movements. Morant was previously spotted wearing the Kool-Aid sneakers in-game during an April 10 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. A second colorway is rumored to be in the works for a June release.
