Original article published March 20th, 2026:
Fostering a multi-year relationship with Swarovski and Kool-Aid across multiple silhouettes, possibly Ja Morant’s most creatively rich collab is creeping closer with the Jurassic Park x Nike Ja 3 collection.
As we’ve gotten increasingly detailed images of the Ja 3 “Raptor” and “Explorer,” we’ve been keenly aware that there’s a missing link; a “Metallic Silver/White/Black/Baltic Blue” third pair promised all the way back in Summer ’25. At long last, we’ve caught sight of the final piece. Capturing a shining silver finish through the upper and vivid blue sole unit, the shoe wears its inspo proudly with logos that alternate between Ja’s and Jurassic Park’s across both tongues.
Getting a sense for this colorway in earnest is plenty worthwhile in its own right, but we’re equally intrigued by where that combination derives from. For context, the “Raptor” and “Explorer” directly adapt imagery from the first film, taking pages from the Velociraptor’s stealthy hides and from the research team’s Ford Explorer, respectively. The glossy arrangement at hand has less of an immediate connection, but if we’re to place a bet, we readily connect it to the rain-soaked climax of the film. It’d add connective tissue to what’s easily the lasting scene from the 1993 classic and its iconic chief antagonist.
The fact that our first look at this style comes via in-hand looks while official product pages and images have already been uploaded for the other two pairs no doubt has our eyebrows raised; it’s unclear whether this will be a more limited pair, or if Beaverton has something a bit more unorthodox in the works for this last colorway. There’s also the outstanding issue of an earthy Jurassic pair that Morant previewed via social media. While we attempt to crack the code there, check out the detailed angles below.
