Ja Morant has already shown several versions of the Nike Ja 4, and the next one gives the shoe a completely different look. The upcoming Nike Ja 4 High takes the regular low-top model and adds a zippered shroud that covers most of the upper.

Morant has been sharing early looks at many of his upcoming releases himself, including the Ja 4 By You and the Twelve Time. This high-top version is another new direction for his signature line, which has stayed with low-cut designs up to this point.

The biggest change is the flexible shroud wrapped around the upper. It gives the shoe more coverage around the ankle while also hiding the laces underneath. The material has a textured look with raised TPU triangle shapes across the surface. “CALL TWELVE” branding appears on the zipper, while Morant’s logo can be seen on the mesh tongue once the shroud is opened.

Rumored to be the “Halloween” colorway, the high-top comes dressed mainly in University Red with Medium Olive details worked into the design. The lateral Swoosh and JA-Frame support piece both use a textured finish that helps separate them from the rest of the upper.

The tooling is expected to stay close to the standard Ja 4, including Cushlon 3.0 foam in the midsole and Super Critical Foam in the insole.
