Nike is turning up the volume—literally—with the reveal of Ja Morant’s latest signature sneaker, the Nike Ja 3 in its “Max Volume” colorway.

Ja Morant will lace them up during Game 1 of the Playoffs when the Grizzlies face the Thunder on April 20th. Designed to be rugged, fast, and loud, the Ja 3 features a full-length ZoomX midsole crafted with recycled scraps, delivering next-level energy return.

The bold “Max Volume” colorway combines energetic pink and deep purple tones, making an instant visual impact. One of the standout features is the large mint green Swoosh placed boldly on the lateral side—strategically positioned to spell “JA” across the midsole. This clever design choice subtly shifts the spotlight while still honoring Ja’s fearless identity. Adding even more personality, his signature logo is printed repeatedly across the upper, reinforcing the bold, unshakable energy that defines both the player and the shoe.

“I told them, ‘Don’t be scared. Push it. Make it rugged, make it different.’ And they ran with it,” said Ja. Clearly, Nike took the challenge to heart.

Adding to the bold design, the outsole features a scratch-like pattern—a recurring theme in Ja’s line that symbolizes his relentless approach. This model also amps up durability and traction for high-level play.

Nike Ja 3 Release Date

The Nike Ja 3 “Max Volume” will officially release on August 15, 2025, via select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $130 USD.

To sum it up, Ja Morant’s third signature sneaker is ready to shake up the court. With its unique look and elite performance, the Nike Ja 3 “Max Volume” is built for hoopers who play—and live—loud.
