Nike Unleashes Ja 3 with Bold New Look

...Ja Morant to Debut Kicks in Game 1 vs Thunder 

Nike has revealed the Ja 3, the third signature shoe from Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant. Set to make its on-court debut today, Sunday, April 20th, during Game 1 of the Grizzlies vs. Thunder series, the Ja 3 will launch in a striking “Max Volume” colourway.

Staying true to the “scratch” design theme that’s defined the line since its inception, the Ja 3 amps up the intensity with aggressive aesthetics and standout elements. The shoe’s reverse-positioned Swoosh along the midsole adds a bold visual twist, while a dual-layer ZoomX foam setup delivers enhanced cushioning and explosive responsiveness.

“I told the Nike design team I needed something that talks before I even lace it up. I wanted my third signature shoe to feel like my game and my personality. I told them, ‘Don’t be scared. Push it. Make it rugged, make it different.’ And they ran with it,” said Ja Morant.

Building on the iconic claw-mark concept first introduced with the Nike Ja 1 “Scratch,” the Ja 3 evolves the look with jagged TPU overlays that channel a torn, battle-ready vibe.

The Nike Ja 3 is scheduled to hit retail in Fall 2025.
