To let Kyrie go into oblivion, Nike chose two young NBA stars to make new custom shoes

Ever since then, anyone who is a fan of Ja Morant and Devin Booker knows they are both Nike followers.

Right from his college years, Ja Morant has always worn the shoes of this famous sports brand. Devin Booker is similar when on his feet in every game there are always numbered Nike Kobe pairs.

With Nike just ending their contract with star Kyrie Irving after eight years of cooperation, this could be the perfect time for stars like Morant or Booker to get their first signature shoes.

According to the prestigious ESPN reporter Nick DePaula, Nike will launch the signature basketball shoes of both Devin Booker and Ja Morant, expected to be released in the Summer - Fall period of 2023.

This is probably very good news for long-time fans of these two players as well as true shoe players. Because for a long time, Ja Morant and Devin Booker were both members of the great Nike family.

With gameplay that explodes in very different ways, both can bring visual value and charisma every time they play.

In addition, this move will benefit many parties, including two stars who are at the peak of their careers and Nike. They just broke up with Kyrie Irving and faced a huge revenue hole. Devin Booker and Ja Morant seem like two worthy names to cover.

Booker is the player scoring the most points for the Phoenix Suns, the second-placed team in the West at the moment. He and Chris Paul and his teammates reached the NBA Finals in 2021.

D-Book has always been considered a descendant of Kobe Bryant as it has a similar style of play and play, especially with medium throws with a high success rate.

With Ja Morant, he is helping the Memphis Grizzlies occupy a high position in the rankings (behind the Phoenix Suns with the same 16-9 record), averaging 28.3 points and 7.6 assists per game.

More specifically, Morant is no different from a "portable highlights machine" when it comes to great physicality. He always plays very explosively with difficult dunks or ups, attracting a large number of viewers and followers on social networks.

Currently, both Ja Morant and Devin Booker's private shoes are in the process of being "cooked" by the design team. There is not much information about prices, design trends or technologies that they will bring to users.

Just know that both these shoes will be released in the third quarter of next year, right before the 2023-24 NBA season kicks off.
