Kool-Aid and summer go together like peanut butter and jelly or Ja Morant and finger guns. While we wait for the upcoming Nike Ja 4, The Swoosh still has a few fun colorways of the Ja 3 in the chamber, including a long-awaited collab with everyone’s favorite wall-smashing jug of over-sugared juice.

The Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 3 is the third Kool-Aid collab for the Ja line, following the asymmetrical Ja 2 colorway and a follow-up in pink Tropical Punch. After getting word of the Ja 3 pair at the beginning of the year and seeing official images of the GS version last month, a new in-hand look arrives right before the pair’s summer drop.

Adding contrasting bright colors to each shoe, the left is Hyper Pink, while the right is Lemon Venom yellow, creating an offset look that you could probably see from cruising altitude. Blue accents on the tongue, laces, and sockliner, and icy blue soles bring the pair together, while Kool-Aid co-branding is added to the condensating tongue label with a jug cartoon and his “Ohhhh Yeahhhh” catch-phrase on the insoles.

The Kool Aid x Nike Ja 3 will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $135. For all the latest Ja Nike news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
