About the release
The Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Swarovski “Black” is a clean shift from on court performance into lifestyle territory. After multiple crystal covered takes on his signature basketball shoes, this release brings the same Swarovski detailing to one of Nike’s most familiar silhouettes.
Rather than overdoing it, the design stays controlled. A blacked out Air Force 1 base is paired with subtle crystal placement, making this feel more like a wearable upgrade than a full statement piece.
It also continues Morant’s growing off court identity, blending Memphis influence, premium materials, and understated flash in a way that fits everyday rotation just as easily as special occasions.

Release date and UK price
The Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Swarovski Black releases on Friday 13 February 2026. UK retail pricing is set at £120.00.
The date also lines up with NBA All Star Weekend, continuing a pattern of Morant using key moments to introduce his more expressive footwear projects.
Design and details
The upper is finished in black nubuck, keeping the base simple and letting the details do the work. Swarovski crystals appear on the Swoosh, tongue branding, and heel, catching light without overpowering the shape.
Ja Morant’s logo is placed on the lateral heel and returns again as a crystal hangtag, adding a personal touch without cluttering the design. Subtle silver lace hardware and a premium leather lining round out the materials.
Underfoot, the Air Force 1 stays familiar. A classic rubber cupsole houses Nike Air cushioning, delivering the same comfort and durability the model is known for.

For collectors, it expands his footwear story beyond the court. For everyday wearers, it offers something elevated without losing the simplicity that makes the AF1 such a staple.
