And just like that…Nike Basketball are taking the throne once again! Ja Morant and Nike have officially unveiled the Ja 4 via Morant’s personal social media channels – the same rollout strategy that’s been used to share new colourways of the Ja 3.
This first look shows a similar design language to Morant’s third signature shoe, aligning a reverse Swoosh near the heel with an extended midfoot shank to spell out ‘Ja’ when viewed from the side. A diamond texture is applied across the upper, a slight departure from Morant’s logo treatment on the Ja 3. Any new tech specs are still under wraps at the moment, but ZoomX cushioning is likely to return.
Several Ja 4 colourways have been teased, showing vivid green and pink shades, alongside toned down blue and black versions. One pair appears to be a continuation of the ‘Scratch’ theme, which has been applied to each of Morant’s signature models to date.
No release details have been confirmed as of yet, but a launch is expected some time in Q3 of this year. Check out the additional shots below, and keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for all updates.
Ja Morant’s signature line at Nike is currently three models deep, and it's built a dedicated fanbase thanks to pristinely chaotic colourways that boast plenty of attitude. The Ja 3 is by far one of the defining hardwood heaters of this era. Since its rise to the top, the world has been eagerly waiting for a follow-up. Today, leaks have emerged of the Ja 4 – there are no images yet, but we can get a pretty clear idea of what to expect from the rumours.
This news comes from industry insiders and According to the sources, the Nike Ja 4 will drop this year and will arrive in both Low and High form. You can peep the mockups below to visualise the upcoming silhouette. In terms of tech, you can expect a lockdown-shifting fit, with a Cushion 3.0 midsole. Of course, there’s ZoomX and a Ja stability frame for support.
Currently, exact release details are pretty murky, but you can likely expect to see the Ja 4 in the back half of 2026. The Lows are set to arrive first, with the Highs landing for the holiday season.
