Ja Morant has been having a rough time lately. After making waves at a post-game press conference, where he was suspended by the team for directing questions about his play, attitude, and playing time to the coaches, Morant has been back on the court, but with only one game with more than 20 points and one Grizzlies win in the last five. Off the court, though, Morant’s third signature Nike shoe has been one of the most lauded basketball silhouettes of the year, with plenty of new colorways coming in the new year.
The latest Ja 3 colorways for 2026 include a sunrise-themed tri-color blend that combines beachy sunrise vibes across the entire upper. The Nike Ja 3 At Dawn is inspired by Ja’s determination to get better, and his tendency to watch the sun come up after the first workout of the day is already done. Starting with orange on the lower third of the shoe, the second third is an early-morning sky blue, with a peachy pink sunrise color covering the top third. The TPU JA monogram print structural panels are done in black for a hit of contrast, with steel blue on the side panel Swooshes and Zoom X branding.
Nike previewed the Ja 3 At Dawn alongside six more new colorways inspired by Ja’s life and likes, including a pink jellybean pair, a colorway dedicated to his uncle, and a yellow colorway that follows in the footsteps of his Let Ja Be Ja Air Force 1. In addition to previews for next year, the Ja 3 has been showing up in NCAA locker rooms across the country as one of college basketball’s favorite new PEs.
The Nike Ja 3 At Dawn will be released March 19, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in adult and youth sizes, the retail prices are set at $135 in men’s sizes and $112 in grade school sizes.
