It Looks Like Nike Is Pulling The Ja Morant Shoe

After the second Ja Morant gun incident happened, Michael Wilbon went on ESPN and proclaimed that he buy his kids shoes under that signature line. It turns out that Wilbon may have been ahead of the curve.

Wilbon? Ahead of the curve? When the hell does that happen?

Okay, back on track. Regardless, the cheese network of TMZ dropped a bombshell today and it doesn’t look good for the Grizzlies point guard. TMZ has reported that The Ja 1 athletic shoes are nowhere to be found on the Nike App or website.

VIA TMZ:

“If you’re trying to cop a pair of Ja Morant‘s signature sneakers, you’ll have to look somewhere other than Nike’s website, ’cause the NBA superstar’s kicks are nowhere to be found in the online store days after his 2nd gun incident.

The Ja 1 athletic shoes were released on April 19, and have been very popular. However, when we looked on Nike’s site Thursday morning, the Morant sneakers were not available. In fact, outside of a few t-shirts, there isn’t anything Morant-related.

But, Nike hasn’t totally erased Morant’s sneakers. There’s a new mismatched ‘Hunger’ colorway that’s scheduled to be released on May 25 … and it still appears in the “Upcoming” section of Nike’s SNKRS app.”

Kevin Durant, Nike agree to lifetime deal

Maybe Nike has a fetish for diva point guard? They have a deal with Russell Westbrook and used to have one with Kyrie Irving. Maybe stay away from the diva point guard on the next shoe deal?
