Ohhhhhhh yeahhhh! Official images reveal that Nike and Ja Morant still have the juice with the upcoming release of the Kool-Aid x Ja 3 colab. Peep the additional shots below and get ready for these to crash through retailers on May 20.
Grab your glasses, fam – 'cause Ja Morant and Nike are back in the lab, and the Kool-Aid is officially bubbling over!
First revealed over on #12's Instagram, the upcoming release focuses around the Ja 3, following the model's debut in September last year. As for the details, a foam sockliner is paired with full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam for responsive cushioning, while padded collars add extra comfort. The traction pattern, featuring all-over mini Ja logos, ensures grip on the court, and the breathable mesh upper provides a canvas to tell Morant’s story.
The colourway itself is a mismatched mix of 'Lemon Venom', 'Light Photo Blue', 'Deep Royal Blue', 'Light Green Spark', 'Pink Beam', and 'Hyper Pink', creating a vibrant, playful palette that perfectly matches the energy of the duo's previous releases.
Beyond Kool-Aid, the Ja 3 is set to roll out multiple 'Jurassic Park' colourways and a run of ten NCAA program editions, making it one of Nike Basketball’s most active signature models as we head into 2026.
All of this arrives during a turbulent season for the Grizzlies point guard, with trade speculation intensifying and criticism – including heat from rapper 2 Chainz – around the model's performance. Still, the Swoosh appear committed to diving into the Ja line, positioning the series as a long-term pillar within their basketball portfolio.
Peep a closer look above. The Kool Aid x Nike Ja 3 is expected to land later this year through Nike and select retailers online and in-store.
