Memphis Grizzlies point guard and two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant has been making waves on social media recently for his new signature shoe release. The Nike Ja 3 shoes have been blowing up, becoming the hottest basketball shoe on the market since the public release on Tuesday.

On Tuesday night, Morant took a trip to New York to be in attendance for the New York Liberty's home game against the Indiana Fever, showing love for a few WNBA stars and showing off his newest shoe.

Liberty star Natasha Cloud was wearing the Nike Ja 3 "Max Volume" on Tuesday night in their home win over the Caitlin Clark-less Fever. Ja Morant took to X (formerly Twitter) to show love for Cloud after she repped his newest shoe.

Cloud is in her first season with the Liberty after spending the first eight years of her career with the Washington Mystics and then a quick one-year stop with the Phoenix Mercury. The one-time WNBA champion wears Converse over half of the time she steps on the court (per kixstats), so her repping Nike on Tuesday night for Morant's newest drop is undoubtedly a sign of respect.

Fans are certainly waiting to see more colorways of Morant's new shoe release and to watch him turn heads in them on the court next season.
