If there’s someone at the gym earlier than you, you’re not working hard enough. Those are the kind of old basketball adages that Ja Morant took to heart on his rise to NBA stardom, and on the latest colorway of his Ja 3 signature shoe, Nike is showing out for the early morning grinders who watch the sunrise after their first workout.
The Nike Ja 3 Daybreak is a blend of peach and pink to mimic the early morning glow of the rising sun. Starting with a peachy orange across the engineered mesh upper, the TPU support panels made of repeating JA monograms are done in salmon pink. The side panel Swooshes are done in a pale blue, like the last glow of the moon in the sky before dawn, with a golden hit on the “A” panel that makes up the JA logo when combined with the lateral side vertical Swoosh.
Nike Ja 3 Daybreak
The Ja 3 was unveiled during last year’s NBA playoffs and has since become one of the industry’s most popular basketball shoes, both on and off the court. The fall has seen plenty of new colorways dropping consistently, and next year will be no different, with a steady stream of Ja 3s hitting shelves for 2026.
The Nike Ja 3 Daybreak will be released Holiday 2025 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $125. To keep up with every new piece of NBA signature sneaker news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
