This Halloween-inspired Ja 3 is covered in distinctive details that celebrate the creepy holiday. Nicknamed ‘Spooky Season’, its bright green upper features an eerily ethereal graphic, while its rubber sole and slash-mark overlays come in a vibrant shade of Light Lemon Twist that glows in the dark for a standout, nighttime-ready look. The fang-like lace dubrae has a similarly scary effect, its jagged teeth etched with letters that spell “Morant”. Dark brown laces and Swooshes evoke the soil of a spine-tingling graveyard, while Bright Crimson delivers a sanguine accent to the outline of the lateral logo. A special insole graphic incorporates the word “Zombie” in graffiti-style electric green lettering alongside a zombified image of Ja Morant in a chilling finish to this stylishly spooky basketball shoe.

Heritage

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.

Technology

ZoomX foam: Nike’s premier midsole foam is lightweight and high in energy return, offering excellent responsiveness, shock absorption and comfort.

Shoe upper

Lightweight, durable ballistic mesh upper is flexible, comfortable and supportive.
Specially designed perforations provide outstanding breathability.
Repeating mini Ja logos embossed across the upper form a protective, hard-wearing structure that contains the foot without restricting breathability or movement.
Padded collar ensures comfort and protection around the ankles.
Asymmetrical lacing creates firm lockdown.
Rubberised eyelets are secure and durable.

Midsole

Full-length top layer of ZoomX foam is soft, lightweight and highly responsive, offering smooth, powerful lift and reliable impact protection.
Hybrid ZoomX midsole incorporates a second layer made from recycled ZoomX foam that provides durability and comfort alongside a more sustainable build.
Bouncy foam is contained within a sturdy rubber cupsole for durability and stability.
Midfoot shank plate further improves stability.
High sidewalls stabilise the foot for control and balance on court.
Cutout sections in the sidewalls of the rubber cupsole maintain flexibility.
Low-profile design produces decent court feel.

Outsole

Bull Dog tread pattern made up of repeating mini Ja logos forms micro-traction grip lines for swift, multi-directional cuts and elite-level control.
Tuned, zoned traction and pliable rubber facilitates easy transitions while ensuring maximum grip.
Full-coverage tread continues across the entire sole and up around the edges, thus providing a solid foundation with traction wherever the foot lands.
