The Nike Ja 3 “Let Me Be Ja” Drops May 12th

One of the last Ja 3 colorways?

The Nike Ja 3 “Let Me Be Ja” Drops May 12th

The Nike Ja 4 has officially been unveiled, already drawing applause for its clean design that builds effectively on the hallmarks of its predecessor. That said, hoopers aren’t exactly eager to see the sun set on the Ja 3 just yet. Morant’s current signature is inarguably his best to date, a consensus formed well ahead of its debut and reinforced by an exceptionally strong run of colorways since.

Here we have official images of the Nike Ja 3 “Let Me Be Ja,” featuring a name and colorway synonymous with a Ja Morant Air Force 1 from last year. The “Let Me Be Ja” tagline traces back to a sentiment Morant shared during a 2023 press conference, first taking a physical form with an Air Force 1/Ja 2 PE set. This Ja 3 sticks to the established formula with a Tour Yellow upper, University Red branding, and black hits on the midsole and background detailing.

As noted previously, this could be one of the last Ja 3 releases before Nike shifts focus to the Ja 4 later this year. A release is scheduled for May 12th, 2026 in full family sizing, priced at $125 for adults.

To that end, take a first look at the adidas Anthony Edwards 3.
