Ja Morant and Nike officially unveiled the third sneaker in Ja Morant’s signature series, the Nike Ja 3, during the NBA Playoffs. While it's been a few months since the debut of the Max Volume rendition, the model has appeared in a few different colorways thanks to overseas leak accounts, like the Ja 3 Hustle and Flow. Now, thanks to Nike’s SNKRS Showcase, which unveiled many basketball models and retros dropping in 2025 and beyond, we have our first look at the Nike Ja 3 EYBL.
Crafted in celebration of Ja’s upcoming world tour, which includes a stop at Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League Peach Jam in Georgia, the pair comes as part of a larger Graffiti Pack that includes pairs for China and NYC. All three sneakers in the collection feature large graffiti A’s on the side of the sneaker that help form Ja’s name, directly inspired by Morant's visit to Nike headquarters, where he spraypainted multiple Ja 3s with a similar design.
As for its color palette, the pair comes primarily coated in platinum violet on its engineered mesh base and grey on its textured Ja logos that help reinforce the upper. Ja's name is done in a pink, blue, and yellow combo, with the Swoosh playfully forming the J in his name, opting for the latter two hues and the A done in a pink and yellow finish. Final details include the EYBL logo on the tongue tag, a tonal foam and rubber midsole with ZoomX cushioning, and a tonal outsole.
The Nike Ja 3 EYBL will release on July 18, 2025, at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam event. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $135. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
