The Nike Ja 2 Gets Swathed in Swarovski Crystals

Name: Swarovski x Nike Ja 2
SKU: HV9999-001
MSRP: $550 USD
Release Date: February 14, 2025

Nike and Ja Morant are set to get their shine on (again) next February, as Morant's signature Ja 2 sneaker will be released in a Swarovski iteration for NBA All-Star Weekend 2025. An apt follow-up to the Swarovski x Nike Ja 1 — which dropped to celebrate 2024's All-Star Weekend — this new iteration is limited, pricy, and, in true Swarovski style, opulent.

Sans the crystal embellishment, the shoe uses a straightforward color scheme with a mix of black suede, mesh and synthetics. This simple base is merely a canvas for the Swarovski detailing, however, which is applied on the tongue logo, medial Swoosh and an interesting new detail on the lateral quarter panel: a "slash" style graphic, somewhat similar to the back print on the Ja 2 "Nightmare" that's likely inspired by Morant's Memphis Grizzlies squad and replaces standard Nike branding. The inside of the tongue also adds a numbered label that states "1 of 1999," though it's uncertain at the time of writing if each pair has a different number displayed on this tag.

Expect the Swarovski x Nike Ja 2 to touch down on February 14, and retail for $550 USD, $150 USD more than the Swarovski x Nike Ja 1 cost. Exact release plans have yet to be revealed — the style may see a standard SNKRS release or start with a regional drop in San Fransisco, where the 2025 NBA All-Star Game is set to be played.
