Ja Morant's 'Trivia' and 'Water Battle' Ja 1 sneakers are available. Here's what to know
A second colorway version of Ja Morant's signature sneaker are set to debut Thursday.
The "Trivia" Ja 1 sneaker will be Morant's second colorway available in retail stores. There also will be a kids exclusive sneaker, called the "Water Battle" Ja 1.
Morant had a pop-up shop during NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, and a special release on the SNKRS app allowed fans to grab the "Scratch" and "12 A.M." shoes in February.
The "Day One" Ja 1 was released April 19 in select retail stores and on the Nike app. People in Memphis scrambled to buy the shoes in retail after being sold out on the Nike app before noon.
Here's what to know about the release of the "Trivia" and "Water Battle" Ja 1 sneakers.

Ja Morant new sneaker details
Morant debuted the "Trivia" Ja 1s during Game 4 of the Grizzlies' first-round playoffs series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Before that game, he had worn the shoes in practices to break them in.
The shoe has a variety of colors that includes phantom, action grape and green. The sneaker inspiration is drawn from a 1990s trivia card game the Morant family has often played. Included on the designs are questions related to Morant's personal life and basketball career that will test out how much fans know about him.
Morant wore the "Water Battle" sneakers during a stretch of games in late March and early April. Like each of his shoes, this one tells a unique story. Morant recalled celebrating his 21st birthday in the NBA bubble with Grizzlies teammates and coaches during the COVID-19 pandemic. The shoes represent the balloons, cake and overall bubble experience. The kid-exclusive sneakers will only be available in youth sizes.
How to buy Ja Morant's new sneakers
Each of the sneakers will be available in select retail stores. In Memphis, Foot Locker, Finish Line and Hibbett Sports are among the locations that will stock Ja 1s.
Hibbett Sports is selling the sneakers via a raffle, meaning people will need to go the Hibbett Sports app and enter a raffle for a chance to be selected to pick up the shoes. This comes after the success of the "Day One" sneaker and how fast it sold out at Hibbett Sports.
The Nike app will have each shoe available for purchase at all sizes until sold out. Retail price for the "Trivia" Ja 1 is $110. The "Water Battle" shoe is priced at $90.
