Ja Morant is arguably one of the most gifted individuals in the NBA today. With handles that catch defenders off guard, a smooth finishing touch to every layup, and hands that can come close to shattering the backboard, he has it all. The Memphis Grizzlies player is on his way to achieving greatness and there are several that would agree with it.
Ja Morant was always considered one of a kind, and he most definitely is. The Grizzlies have achieved some of their best ones with him. But every tree does not bear a single count of fruit. Ja’s younger sister, Teniya has been slowly creeping into the limelight with her capabilities. A video from Bleacher Report surfaced putting her incredible layup game and shot-making ability on display.

“Niya” possesses major similarities to Ja Morant’s style of play. The former MIP is swift and crafty with his finishers and Niya showcased similar moves. But while she was out and about showing off her moves, Teniya was also rocking her brother’s brand-new signature shoes. The Ja Morant Nike 1s have definitely become somewhat of a hit as well. One fan reacted to Niya by saying, “that’s Ja in a wig.”
That’s Ja in a wig 😹

Fans could avoid being savage with her appearance. But one thing is for sure, Niya will soon become a strong prospect for the WNBA. In due time, the Morant family will be the next biggest sports family as well.
How much do Ja Morant Nike 1s cost?
Last year ended off on a very good note for the Memphis Grizzlies superstar. On the day of the Grizzlies’ Christmas, Ja Morant debuted his very own signature kicks by Nike. The Ja Morant Nike 1s were released during Memphis’ debut in Christmas Day Games.

“Just being able to have a signature shoe with Nike, not a lot of guys have been able to achieve that. It’s definitely a big milestone for me and something I’ll never forget,” he said according to ESPN. Ja Morant also teased the shoes via Instagram. The post displayed a picture of gift wrapped shoe box labeled “To Daddy, From Kaari.” Kaari is his daughter.
The release date of his signature shoe has not been specified but will be commercialized in April 2023. A pair of Ja Morant Nike 1s will be sold for $110 at retail.
