Ja Morant’s Latest Nike Ja 4 Rises in Hot Pink and Gold

Ja Morant is ready for his fresh start. In an interview over the weekend, the new Portland Trail Blazer suggested that he’s already diving into the Oregon lifestyle, expressing his love for biking, fishing, kayaking, and generally enjoying the outdoors. If we may add a suggestion, Ja, look into birdwatching, bro. Beyond his newfound interest in adventuring, Morant’s new shoe is on the way, and the latest pair previewed is leading with a peppy mix of pink and gold.

The Ja 4 Rises to the Occasion

The Nike Ja 4 Rise is a bubble gum blend of two-tone pink with metallic gold accents on the branding. Featuring a light pink pop on the upper with a darker pink underfoot, the Rise colorway is expected to debut in China, but we’re hopeful it will also touch down stateside sometime after. Morant is more than bicoastal; he’s global.

Starting with the armor-textured upper plated like dinosaur skin, the light pink monochrome mixes with nearly purple accents on the top eyelet and midsole support, with a darker color on the outsole and between the logos. The JA monogram, made from a side panel Swoosh and a midfoot stabilizer, is metallic gold to match the vamp and the tongue logo.

Nike Ja 4 Rise Release Details

The Nike Ja 4 Rise will be released July 31, 2026, through Nike China and select Chinese retailers in-store and online. As of now, there is no US release scheduled for the pair, but that could change soon. To stay up on all the latest news on the Nike Ja 4, make sure to download the Sole Retriever App.
