First Look At The Nike Ja 3 “Murray State”

A flashy mismatch pair for his days in Kentucky.

First Look At The Nike Ja 3 “Murray State”

Ja Morant exploded into 2025-26 during the Grizzlies’ first game, felling Zion Williamson to the tune of 35 points as he started off the new season. While things have cooled down in the few games since, opening night alone was enough to redouble why the league and his sponsors considered him such a valuable asset upon entering the league.

With the Nike Ja 3 certifying the same in the footwear world, Morant and the Swoosh head earlier in his journey for the Nike Ja 3 “Murray State.” Throughout his line, #12 has poured out homages to his alma mater, making the colorway here nothing too surprising — our readership might remember the special Ja 2 crafted for his collegiate Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2024.

However, the celebrated design of the Ja 3 once again proves its worth in this arrangement, adding high-octane energy to the mismatch gradient layout. The school’s blue and yellow reverse from left shoe to right shoe, further alternating the Swoosh for one all-blue and one Sprite-like lime/cerulean. White mesh underpinnings unite both, as does a paler Ja logo on the tongue.

The Nike Ja 3 “Murray State” is slated to release during the Spring 2026 window, a range from January to March. Expect the usual $130 retail price upon arrival. Keep our Sneaker Release Dates page within reach as we turn over the new year for concrete information as it comes to light.
