Despite the Memphis Grizzlies’ early playoff exit, Ja Morant continues to reign as one of the most exciting players in the league. His unique style and impressive performances on the court have earned him countless admirers. And while his team may have been blown out of the building in the playoffs, sneakerheads are still in for a treat with the release of the new Nike JA 1 Family Trivia colorway, another colorway of Morant’s first signature shoe.
So, what is the inspiration behind the design of these shoes? Ja has always been close with his family and enjoys regular game nights with them. The trivia questions on these kicks honor his family’s favorite pastime. The JA1 Family Trivia colorway takes his love for trivia nights with his family and brings it into the sneaker world.
The shoe comes in a unique Phantom, Action Green, Action Grape, White, Laser Orange, and University Blue color scheme . They are adorned with Ja Morant’s personal logos throughout and are designed with a mesh upper doused with reinforced midfoot and wrap-around Swooshes. However, what makes this colorway exceptional is the trivia questions printed on the heels and insoles that make it an interactive experience.

Resale Value
The chart above gives us a summary of the average sale price of the shoe since April 30, 2023. Based on the records, prices went from $163 on 4/30 down to $153 on May 3,2023, decreasing by an average of $3.87 per day. Let’s see what the five number summary reveals.
Minimum: 138
Quartile Q1: 148.75
Median: 153.5
Quartile Q3: 158.5
Maximum: 194
The lowest sale recorded was $138 for a size 9.5 while the highest was $194, for size 11. But the 11 has since gone down to $145. About 1/4 of the shoes sold between $138 and $149 ( see next chart for sizes), while half of them sold between $149 and $158.5. The top 25% sales were from $158.5 to $194 and there were a total of four outliers {$182, $189, $194, $194} corresponding to sizes 12,11.5,11.5 and 11. With the outliers disregarded, the overall average resale value is $154 with a 5% volatility. You can expect about 95% of the shoes to sell between $138 and $170.
At $154, you’re looking at a +$23 profit margin, a roughly 20% mark up ( 1.3 times above average), that’s not bad especially for a basketball shoe. The next chart will show you a breakdown of the earnings by size.
Current Earnings By Size Sold
Earnings range from $17 to $41 with sizes 8,11,11.12.5,13 and 14 generating the most returns. You’re certainly not going to make any homeruns on any size but if you can get your hands on multiple sizes, this is a shoe certainly worth reselling. With its current MSRP right around $110, there is still room to make some money so take advantage of it while it lasts.
