Ja Morant, Nike officially unveil the Nike Ja 3

From first-glance, the Nike Ja 3 arrives as an ultra-aggressive model that commands attention from the start. The purple and pink debut colorway is already eye-catching enough, but the rugged design is what stands out most prominently on the shoe. The shoe is covered in rubberized Nike Ja logos creating a textured pattern throughout the uppers. The patterning extends through the outsole for maximum grip as the shoes are based in a full-length Nike Zoom unit.

Further details reveal a ventilated mesh upper, kurim reinforcement through the toe, and a revamped ankle collar and lacing system. When describing the design process, Morant told the people at Nike, “Don’t be scared. Push it, make it rugged, make it different.” They certainly ran with the idea and came up with something truly unique for the young superstar.

While there’s no word as to when the Nike Ja 3 will hit the public sphere, we can expect them to arrive sometime before the start of the next NBA season. For now, fans can look forward to a number of Nike Ja 2 releases while still seeing new updates in their colorways.
