SLAM Magazine is Getting a Nike Ja 4 Collab in Holiday 2026

In 2024, SLAM Magazine partnered with basically every sneaker brand on the planet for special colorways of performance basketball models commemorating the publication's 30th anniversary. Only one of these pairs hit retail shelves, the Puma MB.04 collab, but SLAM is set to work with Nike later in 2026 on a new pack of kicks that we’ll all have a shot at copping. Joining the already-revealed Hyperflight, GT Cut 3, and Sabrina 4 is a Nike Ja 4 colorway.

As of this writing, there are no images of the SLAM x Nike Ja 4, but Sole Retriever can confirm that the magazine will have its own colorway of the sneaker. The color scheme will consist of wolf grey, black, safety orange, and cobalt bliss, joining the other three sneakers in their use of orange on the sneaker. The Ja 4 itself also has not been seen yet, but Sole Retriever previously reported on the Nike Ja 4 debuting in the Fall 2026. It’s expected to retail for $130 for standard releases.

Ja Morant previously appeared on the cover of SLAM twice, first in 2019 and around six months later during his rookie season for the Grizzlies. Most recently, Morant sat down with SLAM to discuss his Nike Ja 3 ahead of the sneaker's release. You can check out the video above.

The SLAM x Nike Ja 4 will be released Holiday 2026 through Nike and possibly select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $140. While we wait for the first images of the Ja 4 and the entire SLAM x Nike Basketball collection, keep it locked to the Sole Retriever mobile app for real-time release updates on the latest sneaker drops.
