‘Tis the season for basketball. Nike Hoops is entering the giving season with Christmas-themed kicks for its signature athletes, including Sabrina Ionescu, Devin Booker, and LeBron James. Like an excited child on Christmas finding a gift hidden in the closet, Portland Trail Blazers star Ja Morant couldn't wait for the festivities and took to Instagram to reveal a new pair of the Nike Ja 4 High. The high-top variation of Morant’s fourth signature shoe seems to be a holiday hit, with a bold red rendition releasing for Halloween. After getting zombified for Spooky Season, it looks like Ja’s heart is set to grow three sizes with a Grinch-esque look.
The extended silhouette features a vivid lime green upper adorned with spikes all over, in place of the lower-cut version’s textured upper. The added zippered upper brings additional lockdown to the silhouette while giving it that high cut and allowing for a variety of styling options like the Air Jordan 28 or, more recently, the Air Jordan 4028. The 3D TPU triangles add a Christmas tree-like adornment to the model.

Remaining from the low-top version are the reversed Swoosh on the lateral side and A-shaped midfoot shank that spell out Ja, this time covered in the same plastic coating as the Sabrina 4 and LeBron 24. They look to have a lenticular aesthetic with the color shifting from a light pink to a darker shade. The heel tabs carry over the “Don’t Sleep” print on the left and right heel, respectively. Completing the look is a semi-translucent lime green outsole.
The Nike Ja 4 High Christmas will be released on December 26, 2026, via Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $180. For the latest news in streetwear, collectibles, and sneakers, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
