Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are aiming for redemption after injuries derailed their 2024-25 season and ended in a playoff exit. While fans wait for the official rollout of the Nike Ja 3, Morant previewed several upcoming colorways in an exclusive feature with SLAM Kicks, giving sneakerheads a look at whatâs next.
The Nike Ja 3 has already received early love for its âNY vs. NY,â âLight Show,â âPeach Jamâ PE, and âPrice of Admissionâ pairs. With each colorway telling a personal story linked to Morantâs journey, his latest round of designs continues to put a personal touch on Nikeâs Basketball sneaker. The âChannel 12â pays homage to Hustle & Flow, while the âScratch 3.0â includes claw mark details in a nod to the Grizzliesâ identity. Seasonal-themed editions have also been previewed, including a âSpooky Seasonâ colorway with glow-in-the-dark Halloween detailing and âSnowed In,â a winterized edition characterized by frosted textures and a snow globe logo.
A pair of unreleased colorways have also teased fans, including a âMink Brownâ build that evokes a Neapolitan ice cream aesthetic and a tonal color scheme that draws similarities to the Kobe 6 âAll-Star 2.0â. These builds continue Nikeâs practice of not only including performance tech, but storytelling that lends itself to the personalization of the Ja 3 line. Retail price should remain $130.
Like past seasons, the Nike Ja 3 should see a gradual rollout in 2025, with each new colorway helping to cement Jaâs status in Nike Basketballâs future.
