Andrew Rizzo Updated December 18th, 2024: More images of the Swarovski x Nike Ja 2 have surfaced, revealing that the shoe will be limited to just 1,999 pairs as a nod to Ja Morant’s birth year (peep the inner tongue). A release is currently expected to go down on Valentine’s Day 2025 (February 14th), which just so happens to be the Friday of next year’s NBA All-Star Weekend. See detailed images below and scroll further down the page for our initial breakdown.

The following was published December 13th, 2024:
Following a set of crystal-clad Air Max Plus colorways, Swarovski and the Swoosh are revisiting Ja Morant’s signature line with a Nike Ja 2 collaboration in 2025. A new image posted to X by @fuelkicks unveils the sneaker in question, currently expected to release on Valentine’s Day.
Swarovski and Nike previously took on the Ja 1 in 2023, offering up an “Anthracite” colorway featuring glittery treatments on the Swoosh and outsole. That motif remains largely in-tact on their next effort, with the image above showing mostly black and dark navy treatments. Swarovski crystals come into focus on the quarter, which is stripped of its usual Swoosh and embellished by claw-like cutouts featuring the stones.
Importantly, much like the Swarovski x Ja 1, the shoe comes with a disclaimer that states it’s intended for lifestyle wear and not performance. That’s essentially Nike’s way of saying that if some crystals fall off while you’re hooping; don’t blame them.
The Swarovski x Nike Ja 2 is currently scheduled to release Valentine’s Day (February 14th) 2025 for a retail price of $550. Stick with us while we keep our head up for official images and in-hand product shots.
