Fans Devoured Ja Morant's "Zombie" Sneakers

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant's new Halloween-themed Nike sneakers sold out online.

Although Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant will miss the start of the new season while he serves a suspension, his fans remain more loyal than ever. On Friday morning, Nike dropped the newest colorway of Morant's first signature sneaker, and online shoppers devoured the highly anticipated release.

It has not been the smoothest of rollouts for the Nike Ja 1, as the launch of the performance model was pushed back last spring due to a prior suspension Morant was serving at the time. Nevertheless, Morant's signature sneakers remain as popular as ever.

The Nike Ja 1 was released in the "Zombie" colorway on Friday, October 20. Athletes and fans had the date circled on their calendars for weeks, and the hoop shoes sold out online within minutes. Below is everything fans must know about the Halloween-themed kicks.

A detailed look at the Nike Ja 1 / Nike

The Nike Ja 1 "Zombie" sports a green and brown color scheme, accentuated by a spooky design showing hands on the heels and medial Swoosh logos. The shoes carried a retail price of $130 and are already going for upwards of $200 on sneaker resale websites.

Luckily for frugal online shoppers, they can still choose between multiple colorways of Morant's first signature sneaker on the Nike website. The performance basketball shoes feature a lightweight mesh upper that is complimented by a forefoot Zoom Air unit that helps provide increased responsiveness on the hardwood.

Morant has proven to be one of the most marketable young players in the NBA. As long as the 24-year-old can stay on the court, he will surely be a force to reckon with in the sport and in the sneaker industry. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all your daily footwear news.
