With the March Insanity NCAA event wrapping quickly, Nike is poised to maintain the school vibes alive with a collection of college-themed colorways of their signature athlete footwear icons. Devin Booker’s upcoming Nike E-book 1 “Blue Blood”, for instance, nods to his time as a Kentucky Wildcat, whereas this upcoming Ja 2 recollects the Grizzlies star’s time on the mid-major.
Showing in traditional workforce colorways, this JA 2 encompasses a major white higher matched with a golden yellow and a darkish navy to suit the Racers college colours. The one outstanding element about this upcoming launch is the chenille Swoosh, chosen intentionally to exude that varsity jacket aesthetic.
Though seemingly commonplace in its building and construct, this Nike JA 2 clocks in at $140, which is a $20 bump from the everyday releases. Official Nike photographs don’t reveal any extra accoutrements excluding the varsity jacket model Swoosh, so it stays to be seen if this worth enhance is warranted. Ja’s different $120 choices have been gracious sufficient to throw in some particular lace dubrae, so we’re as puzzled as you’re.
Regardless, this Nike JA 2 releases on April 18th for $140 on Nike.com and partnering Nike Basketball retailers.
