I recently bought the Ja 2 "12 Time" basketball shoes for my son, and let me just say — they exceeded all expectations! From the moment he laced them up, his face lit up with excitement. The fit is spot-on — snug, supportive, and comfortable, which is a must for a young athlete who’s constantly on the move. The design is bold and sleek, turning heads both on and off the court. You can immediately tell the materials are top-notch — built for performance, yet still stylish. My son raves about how lightweight they feel, and the ankle support gives him that extra boost of confidence when making quick cuts or going up for a rebound. The traction is excellent too, giving him the grip he needs to stay in control during fast-paced plays. These shoes have quickly become his go-to pair, and I couldn’t be more impressed. If you’ve got a young hooper in your life, the Ja 2 "12 Time" is a winning choice. Ja definitely delivered with this one!

Basketball Shoes
Ja puts in the work to be great so he can be at his best when the game's on the line. That's why we gave the Ja 2 a lighter design. It works with Air Zoom cushioning to help keep him fresh when he's in the lab. And the tractor tyre-inspired traction helps him change direction with ease. Ja's about that grind. Are you?

Zoom, zoom
A forefoot Air Zoom unit helps provide increased responsiveness and vertical acceleration.
Lighter design
We removed as much material in the arch as possible without sacrificing support, which helps reduce the overall weight of the shoe. The midsole is made to mould to your foot for better containment and support when making quick, sudden movements.
Tractor-inspired traction
The multi-directional traction pattern pays homage to the oversized tractor tyres Ja still trains on in the Morant family's back garden.
Light and Breathable
Lightweight mesh offers comfort and breathability in the upper while engineered mesh on the big-toe side of the shoe gives you even more breathability.
More benefits
- Extra ankle padding gives you comfort when landing and taking off.
- Raised foam collar adds extra cosiness around your Achilles heel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have a kid who is extremely picky with his basketball shoes. Somehow, this shoe fit every need, look he wanted and needed.

I dont want to rate the shoe low because it's decent but BRUH. Out the box these are clearly used! Scuff marks, dirt trappes in the soles. The only reason Im not returning them is because I train basketball outdoors so they will get dirty anyway
