UPDATE 9/25/26: The Nike Ja 4 “Jaws” aka “Deep Water” is now available on Nike.com for $140.

Original Story 9/12/26:
The Nike Ja 4 is already out, and the next colorways are starting to fill in the rest of the model’s first run. One of the more interesting pairs on the way is the “Jaws” colorway, a shark-themed release expected to land in September 2026.

The idea is pretty easy to read once you see the shoe. Different shades of blue run across the upper, moving from darker navy sections into lighter tones around the toe and midfoot. The textured surface gives the pair a rougher look, which works well with the shark theme without making the whole design feel too literal.

Most of the movie influence shows up in the smaller details. Shark teeth wrap around the tongue logo, while more jagged shapes appear around the vamp and through parts of the JA branding. A red hit at the center of the tongue adds some contrast against all the blue.

The side panels carry one of the better touches. Dark blue hardware cuts through the upper and works with the oversized Swoosh, giving the shoe a sharper look from the side. Underfoot, a light translucent outsole helps keep the bottom from feeling too heavy.

The “Jaws” nickname comes from the 1975 shark film, but this is more of an inspired colorway than an official movie collaboration. Morant’s line has done this kind of thing before, using louder themes and pop culture references on pairs like the “Ja-Breaker” and his Jurassic Park collaboration.
