Arkansas Basketball Shows off Nike Ja 3 PEs During Preseason Win

The college basketball season is here. Pre-season games are drawing packed stadiums and regular season match-ups start next week, so you know the nation’s premier programs had to get fresh for the new campaign. After lacing the LSU Tigers with a custom colorway of his new shoe, Nike is bringing Ja Morant’s third signature silhouette to campuses across the country, including the SEC heavyweights at the University of Arkansas.

The Razorbacks are entering the new season as the 14th-best team in the nation according to the most recent AP poll, and with that kind of pressure, you need to look good to play good. In the team’s last pre-season game of the year against Memphis this week, Arkansas players broke out new pairs of Nike Ja 3 PEs.

Starting with a deep red engineered mesh upper, the TPU JA monogram support overlays are done in jet black. White Swooshes on the side panels and white Arkansas Razorback logos on the midsole complete the red, black, and white colorway to match the team’s red road jerseys. While Morant was in San Francisco playing the Warriors last night, the Razorbacks marched into Memphis in his shoes and took a pre-season win from the U of M Tigers.

The Nike Ja 3 Arkansas Basketball PE won’t be released to the public, so don’t get your hopes up. With the NCAA season starting soon and Nike going all in on the Ja 3, we’ll definitely be looking out for more college PEs hitting the court soon.
