First Look At The Nike Ja 4 “Jaws”

With much anticipation and even greater expectations, the Nike Ja 4 is just about ready for liftoff, the follow-up to what was widely regarded as one of the best new basketball shoes of last year. Following an April 2026 unveiling by Ja himself, we’re now getting our first looks at some of the colorways set to define this next chapter of Morant’s sneaker journey.

Ja’s sneaker portfolio has leaned heavily on wordplay tied to his first name, from the “Ja-Breaker” to the Jurassic Park collaboration and beyond. Here we have detailed images of the Nike Ja 4 “Jaws,” featuring a gradient design built around the iconic movie poster for the suspense classic. Shark teeth detailing on the tongue makes the theme unmistakable, mirroring the film’s iconic poster almost exactly. Ja Morant’s signature logo appears in University Red at the center of the graphic, while an exhaustive palette of “Diffused Blue/Blackened Blue/Chambray/Glacier Blue/University Red/Cobalt Bliss” fleshes out the rest of the shoe gradient style.

Do note that despite its clear theme, the Nike Ja 4 “Jaws” is not an official collaboration. No release date has been announced, but a Fall 2026 drop feels like a safe bet. See detailed images below and hit our Sneaker Release Dates page to browse more upcoming basketball shoes.

In related news, the Nike Caitlin 1 has been officially unveiled.
