Thanks to his numerous Swarovski-encrusted Nikes, there are few athletes whose signature sneakers shine as bright as Ja Morant’s. Soon, the NBA star will add another style to his crystal-studded rotation in the form of one of Nike’s most famous silhouettes.
After taking sneaker leaks into his own hands in February and sharing unreleased styles including a Sundial-colored Air Force 1 branded with “Let Me Be Ja” text, more details are emerging pertaining to the Swarovski collaboration teased by Morant. According to leakers Sneaker Market RO and @brandon1an, the Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Swarovski is set to be released during holiday 2025. The upcoming shoe has a full colorway of Black/Metallic Silver/Cobalt Bliss and a style code of IQ9772-001.
Using an all-black Air Force 1 in what appears to be a suede material as its base, the Morant collaboration is covered in the Austrian jewelry producer’s signature crystals on the Swoosh logo, heel tab and tongue label. Personalized “12:AM” branding, a reference to Morant’s around-the-clock work ethic, is featured on the medial side. Previous Nike Ja Swarovski sneakers have also featured the same logo.

Morant’s Swarovski releases began in March 2023 with his debut sneaker, the Nike Ja 1. That introductory style was followed up with two Nike Ja 2s as part of Nike Basketball’s Black Label series in February 2025. Of the two Ja 2s, a Scratch style featured a Memphis Grizzlies-inspired claw mark studded with Swarovski crystals, while the second pair was nearly fully flooded in the shimmering stones.
Beyond Morant’s sneakers, Swarovski and Nike regularly collaborate on footwear and apparel. The two companies began working together in 2017 with special releases of the Nike Air Max 97 sneaker to celebrate the model’s 20th anniversary. To date, the most valuable pairs on the resale market are Cactus Plant Flea Market’s Dunk Lows from 2020. That collaboration’s Spiral Sage colorway regularly resells for over $10,000.
Along with Morant’s Swarovski Air Force 1 Low, the aforementioned Sundial style is also expected to be released during holiday ’25. The black-and-yellow pair has a full colorway of Sundial/Black/Cobalt Bliss and its style code is IQ2713-700.
The Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Swarovski is slated to be released in December. Retail pricing has not been confirmed, but readers should anticipate a higher-than-usual price tag due to the Swarovski inclusion.
