Nike and Ja Morant are ending the Ja 2 series with a bold summer send-off. The Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 2 “Tropical Punch” hits shelves in July 2025, just in time to heat up the season.

Following the earlier “Mixed Berry” release, this final colorway features a vibrant red-to-pink gradient upper inspired by the Kool-Aid Tropical Punch flavor. Cracked wall graphics wrap the side panels, referencing the Kool-Aid Man’s famous wall-breaking entrances.

The playful design continues with the Kool-Aid Man’s smiling face stamped on the tongue. Inside, his signature shout—“Ohhh Yeah!”—appears on the lining, while water droplet textures cover the upper for a refreshing touch.

Morant’s signature “12:AM” logo sits on each heel tab, symbolizing his mindset and late-night grind. A pink-to-red gradient midsole and icy blue outsole round out the flavor-packed look.

Performance-wise, the Ja 2 still delivers. It features lightweight support, responsive cushioning, and a low-cut build for quick moves. So while the colors scream fun, the tech is built for game-day performance.

Kool-Aid Nike Ja 2 Release Date

The Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 2 “Tropical Punch” will relate on July 1, 2025 available in full-family sizing via Nike.com and select retailers. Priced at $130 USD, this release offers one last chance to cop a Ja 2 before the Ja 3 arrives.

This fun and flavorful farewell combines two cultural icons—Ja Morant and Kool-Aid—for a summer sneaker you won’t want to miss.
