After completing his 25-game suspension, Ja Morant made a remarkable return to the court on Tuesday night. Morant led the Memphis Grizzlies to a 115-113 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, which included a game-winning buzzer-beater to steal the road victory.
In addition to scoring an efficient 34 points, Morant also used his first game back to debut an unreleased pair of his signature Nike sneakers. The acrobatic point guard debuted the Nike Ja 1 in a never-before-seen white and gold colorway. Below is a detailed look at the hoop shoes.

Despite all of Morant's off-court drama, the Nike Ja 1 has enjoyed a very solid debut. The silhouette and most colorways have been well-received by athletes and fans. Now, we cross our fingers that the white and gold colorway hits shelves after last night's spectacular performance.
Online shoppers who do not want to wait for the release can choose between several colorways of Morant's first signature sneaker in full-family sizing on the Nike website. Best of all, select styles are available at a discount and would make an excellent last-minute holiday gift.
With Morant back on the court making clutch buckets and debuting new sneakers, it appears that his career and signature sneaker line are back on track. Let's hope for an uninterrupted campaign for the 2x NBA All-Star. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news from the sports world.
