Ja Morant is changing teams for the first time in his NBA career, and he’s taking the move to the City of Roses seriously in his sneaker line. Hot on the heels of debuting the Nike Ja 4, the Blazers’ guard is breaking out new colorways of the silhouette, including a Rise colorway in hot pink with gold accents, perfect for the PNW city’s floral reputation.
The Nike Ja 4 Rise arrived in initial previews earlier this week, and as Ja continues to do more media ahead of his first Portland training camp, the new shoe popped up in a new set of in-hand images. Seen in natural sunlight, the multi-tone pink gradient pair shines bright with a metallic gold armored Swoosh adding as much pop as possible.

The pair features its boldest pink on the toe, and evolves into a paler bubblegum pink on the heel. A darker pink shade is added to the outsole, with metallic gold on the JA monogram structure. Finally, black is added to the tongue and sockliner, with two-tone black and pink laces to round it all out.
The Nike Ja 4 Rise will be released July 31, 2026, through Nike China and select Chinese retailers in-store and online. As of now, there is no US release scheduled for the pair, but that could change soon. To stay up on all the latest news on the Nike Ja 4, make sure to download the Sole Retriever App.
