Ja Morant and Nike Drop New Sneaker: The Nike Ja 3
Ja Morant and Nike have teamed up once again to release the highly anticipated Nike Ja 3, the third signature shoe for the rising NBA star. This new sneaker features a bold and unique design that perfectly embodies Morant’s game and personality.
The Ja 3 boasts a lightweight mesh upper for maximum breathability, while the rubber cupsole is designed with a vertical scratch pattern that not only adds a stylish touch, but also allows for increased ventilation. The iconic rubber logos can still be seen on the outsole, along with the all-new bulldog micro traction, a nod to Morant’s signature bulldog crossover move on the court.
But the real standout feature of the Ja 3 is the midsole, which is made up of full length ZoomX foam layered over ZoomX scrap. This unique combination provides unparalleled responsiveness and comfort for players of all levels of explosiveness.
When asked about his involvement in the design process, Morant stated, “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.”
He went on to say, “The Ja 3 matches my game perfectly. It’s got that balance: Speed when I need it, control when I need to switch gears.”
And for those who are lucky enough to get their hands on a pair of Ja 3s, Morant wants them to feel fearless. “When you put on the Ja 3, I want you to feel like you can go create your own story – on the court, off it. Just be you, loud and proud. That’s what I’m about. No limits, no second guessing. Just go.”
The Ja 3 “Max Volume” made its debut during game 1 of the NBA Playoffs between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fans can expect the Ja 3s to hit stores this fall, so be sure to grab a pair and step up your sneaker game.
