Nike Ja 3 Officially Unveiled

Nike has officially revealed the Ja 3, the third signature sneaker for Ja Morant, continuing the bold design evolution of his signature line. This latest model builds on the “scratch” theme introduced in the original Ja 1, with the claw mark motif now becoming the central design concept. Rugged TPU overlays on the upper create a torn, shredded appearance, reflecting both Ja’s aggressive playing style and fearless on-court presence. One of the most striking visual updates is the reversed Swoosh, positioned at the midfoot, which further reinforces the sneaker’s offbeat, high-energy identity.

Underfoot, the Ja 3 introduces a new performance-driven midsole, combining full-length ZoomX foam for added responsiveness and cushioning, engineered for players who thrive on explosive movement. Speaking on the design, Ja said, “I told the Nike design team I needed something that talks before I even lace it up... Make it rugged, make it different.” That directive clearly comes through in every detail of the Ja 3, from the aggressive lines to the rebellious branding. The result is a shoe that doesn’t just match Morant’s game—it speaks it loud and clear.
