Anthony Sain on how the national refute of Ja Morant due to his actions has seemingly had no immediate impact on the sales of the Ja 1’s.
Someone told me that the loudest voice is rarely the majority
In the last 12 days Ja Morant has been a thug, a dummy, a waste and has zero marketability
Somehow his shoe still dropped and was sold out in seconds
Turn down the noise

Another piece of evidence that people screaming on the internet are not representative of people in the real world
Bots prolly got em all.
It’s because nobody – Not even the people in r/nba going “wow, just wow” – actually cares that much about his IG Live scandals. It’s just been a never-ending astroturf campaign by sports media talking heads. They don’t care either, they just have nothing else to talk about besides the lakers
Dam I forgot
No such thing as bad pr when it comes to selling merch in America
“Thug” 🥱
don’t kid yourself. the people buying up new shoes seconds after release are collectors, resellers and addicts who do this all the time. It’s not an indication that they love Ja Morant specifically, any more than the dudes who buy a hundred fitted hats care about all those teams
Even bad pr is good pr
Literally every shoe dropped on the SNKRS app sells out in seconds. They have problems with bots and resellers.
SNKRS App ain’t nothing but legalized gambling for a lot of folks, so this ain’t a surprise Sain.
Saw stock was under 3k pairs with that exclusivity it’s a no brainer they would sell out instantly
He’s one of the most exhilarating young players to watch in the League. His off the Court antics don’t change that.
They sold out because he may lose his shoe deal and they would become more rare.
He definitely has acted like a thug dumbass lol, this doesn’t exonerate him from that.
He has been a dumbass. He repeated the same mistake that got him suspended during the season. Seems like a really ineffective time to kick up an identity politics debate.
This is the thing: the average person just doesn’t care about his antics that much. Because *gasp* the videos just aren’t that fucking bad. Dumb and immature? Absolutely? Dangerous? Without a doubt. But guess what? They don’t show him breaking any big laws or hurting anyone so people don’t give a shit.
I bet they made 1 pair of each size. Probably stopped making em after the strip club firearm fiasco
Theyre literally clown shoes
Perfect for clown morant
When did anyone say this was going to make him unpopular…
Don’t believe the hype.. whenever Ja comes bacc he will be respected the exact same way… 💯💯‼️
