Nike App no longer listing Ja Morant's Hunger sneakers ahead of expected release

Ja Morant’s Hunger Ja 1 sneakers were no longer listed on the Nike or Finish Line apps early Thursday morning.

The Hunger Ja 1s have been expected to release May 25. The mismatch red and blue colorway was listed on both the Finish Line and Nike apps as recently as Tuesday.

The Ja 1s were still posted on both the SNKRS and Hibbett Sports apps, where they can be ordered through a raffle. Selected raffle winners would be able to purchase the sneakers.

This uncertainty comes after the Memphis Grizzlies suspended Morant, and the NBA conducts an investigation after the star point guard was seen holding what appeared to be a gun in an Instagram Live video from his friend Davante Pack’s account. The video surfaced on Sunday.

Morant was previously suspended eight games by the NBA after he brandished a gun on March 4 in a Colorado night club on an Instagram Live video. That incident led to Nike delaying the release of Morant’s first Ja 1 sneaker that was available in retail stores.

After Morant’s first incident, Nike basketball released a statement. Nike has not responded to a request for comment at the time of this story.
