Nike Ja 3 basketball runners "EYBL"
IH2374-001
This elegant Ja 3 ‘EYBL’ design pays homage to Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League, which showcases and supports the sport’s rising stars. Its Platinum Violet upper is decorated with radiant Fire Pink Swooshes, with the lateral one angled dramatically upwards alongside a University Gold and Violet Ash “A” to artfully spell out Morant’s first name. A captivatingly lustrous finish distinguishes this Swoosh, and its Dusty Cactus outline matches the bold splash of teal at the centre of the charming Vast Grey outsole. Meanwhile, Platinum Violet brings a gentle pink infusion to the subtly swirling panel on the tongue, which hosts a basketball-inspired badge. The letters “EYBL” decorate its graceful sky blue surface in one last stylish nod to Nike’s highly successful sports circuit.
Electrifying Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant had an immediate impact on the NBA, winning the Rookie of the Year award in 2020. His fearless play style saw him reach new heights during the 2021-22 season as he made the All-Star team. In recognition, Nike launched the first Ja signature shoe with a high-performance build designed to support his fast, skilful movement and emphatic jumps. The series has since evolved with lightweight mesh materials, aggressive traction patterns, enhanced lockdown features and responsive foams, while the stylish aesthetic always reflects his grit and determination through eye-catching Grizzlies-inspired slash marks and custom Ja logos.
