Ja Morant was back on an NBA court, shooting finger guns last night. The Grizzlies’ point guard still isn’t in the playoffs, but he and Jaren Jackson pulled up to watch Desmond Bane and the Orlando Magic take a dominant 3-1 upset lead over the Detroit Pistons, and when he’s not in uniform, well, the NBA has to let Ja be Ja, just like any other fan.
As we await the newly previewed Nike Ja 4, The Swoosh is keeping the Ja 3 colorways coming, including a bright yellow pair dedicated to Morant’s enigmatic personality. The Bruce Lee, Kill Bill, and Wu-Tang remeniscent colorway is a companion pair to the Nike Ja 2 Let Me Be Ja PE and last year’s Nike Air Force 1 Let Me Be Ja.
On the Ja 3, a yellow armored mesh base and yellow JA monogram TPU paneling slash across the upper with a smokey black backing on the TPU panels. The black continues onto the midsole in a darker midnight shade, with red accent hits on the lateral Swoosh and JA tongue label branding.
