Quick Facts

  • Posted by Morant on IG alongside the caption “Leakz,” the Grizzlies Throwback colorway starts with a base of reinforced mesh in teal with white claw marks added in various spots across the upper
  • The midsole is a two-tone mix of red on the front and more teal on the back, with a jagged black structure jutting between, stretching up the shoe with JA monogram TPU armor
  • The Nike Ja 3 Grizzlies Throwback isn’t on any release schedule yet, so it’s likely a PE made just for Morant himself

Between factories overseas, shipping channels, and the sample process, it can be hard for sneaker brands to stop new shoes and colorways from leaking early online (hey, we’re not complaining). At Nike, there’s another leaker to worry about… Ja Morant.

Morant has been trying his best to beat the leakers to the punch, posting new pairs of his Nike Ja 3 to Instagram for months. The latest early pair coming straight from Twelve is a perfect match to the Grizzlies’ iconic teal throwback jerseys.

The Nike Ja 3 Grizzlies Throwback isn’t on any release schedule yet, so it’s likely a PE made just for Morant himself. That said, we’ve seen a similar colorway on the Nike Ja 1 and Ja 2, and with Morant officially off the trade block, this one could show up on shelves down the line.
