Ja Morant Leaks The Giraffe-Inspired Nike Ja 2 Ja Raffe PE
Published
Ja Morant is on a leak spree at the moment. After having his Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 2 leak early thanks to an Instagram sneaker leaking account, Morant vowed to begin to leak his sneakers and has kept true to his promise. Earlier today, he previewed images of a Nike Ja 2 and a Nike Air Force 1 in matching colors, featuring the phrase “Let Me Be Ja,” he quickly followed this up with a look at a Nike Ja 2 PE featuring a giraffe print.
At first, the connection between Ja and giraffes might not seem obvious. Ja is tall, standing at 6’3, but he is not staggeringly tall enough to earn a nickname like Ja Raffe. Instead, the name and inspiration for this color come from a giraffe that once lived at the Memphis Zoo, named after Ja Morant in 2020 when the then-year-and-a-half-old animal arrived in Tennessee. At the time, Morant was the same height as Ja Raffe, who has since grown above 10’ tall.

Though he no longer resides in Memphis, he moved to the Hogle Zoo in Utah in 2022. Ja Raffe is honored on this Ja 2 with a giraffe print applied to the tan and pink sneaker. This print extends down from the upper onto the foam midsole, while pink hues mark the Swoosh on the midfoot and the outsole below.
The Nike Ja 2 Ja Raffe will remain a player-exclusive sneaker for Ja Morant and not see a public release. Hopefully, we can see Ja rock the pair in-game sometime in the future.
