NBA star, Ja Morant is gifting multiple colleges with his Nike Ja 1 signature sneakers, including HBCU, Mississippi Valley State University.
Mississippi Valley State is one of four schools receiving the Nike Ja 1 signature sneakers this season. Murray State, Memphis, and Radford will also be gifted the sneakers.
It appears the selected schools have a special meaning to the Memphis Grizzlies star point guard. Murray State is his alma mater, Shane Nichols, one of his former assistant coaches is now at Radford, and his younger sister, Niya Morant, plays on the women’s basketball team at Mississippi Valley State.
While Murray State, Memphis, and Radford will also receive the same ember colorway of Morant’s signature sneaker, Mississippi Valley State got a special delivery with an unreleased colorway that’s not expected to debut until near Halloween.
