Nike Ja 3 Basketball Shoes

About This Item

Every time Ja steps on the court, it's showtime. To help him elevate his game, we worked with him to make the bounciest Ja signature shoe so far. The Ja 3 is light, tough and a game-changer with full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam. “ZoomX is crazy responsive,” Ja says. “I call it that jet fuel.” We call it bad news for his defenders.


Athlete-Inspired Details:

  • Inspired by Ja’s electrifying game, this special design helps you create your own must-see moments. Lace up the Ja 3 and tell them to grab their popcorn. Then, make them watch and make them pay.

Design:

  • The lightweight, durable upper provides a canvas for Ja's unique style of play and the stability he needs to feel shifty
  • The combination of the full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam and the traction pattern helps Ja raise his game
  • Padded collar adds cushioning

In-Shoe Comfort:

  • Full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam gives Ja Nike's highest energy return. "It's that extra boost when I'm already moving fast," Ja says.
  • Foam sockliner on top of full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam has Ja feeling like he's on clouds with every move

Durability & Traction:

  • Ja knows the Ja 3's tuned, zoned outsole gives him an edge. "With this grip I can break defenders off any time I want," Ja says. The traction pattern features allover mini Ja logos, so he can cook his opponents and leave his stamp on the game.

Additional Details:

  • When Ja sat down with the designers, his message was clear. "I told 'em, 'Don't be scared. Push it,'" Ja says. The result? The Ja Swoosh logo—a vertical Swoosh logo next to a graffiti-sprayed "A"—and grimy scratch marks make a groundbreaker that's ready for the bright lights.

Pretty Shoe

Really great colors and a comfortable shoe! It is our team shoe!

Fun Sneakers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sneakers are pure fun and comfort in one package. Each shoe rocks a completely different color — one in yellow, the other in a lavender, making every step feel like a statement. They’re super comfortable with a snug, flexible fit and cushioned support that works for all-day wear. What I love most is how easy they are to style — they instantly elevate jeans, joggers, or even a simple all-black fit. The mix-and-match colorway makes them fun but versatile — perfect if you like to stand out without sacrificing comfort.

Ja 3 Might Be For Me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got my hands into the Nike JA 3, one of the biggest pros has to be the grip — the micro‑traction outsole really grips when you make hard cuts, quick stops, and sharp pivots. I also like how the shoe keeps me close to the court: despite having full‑length ZoomX foam inside, it doesn’t feel overly lofty or floaty. The design leans more low‑to‑ground, so you still sense the court under your feet, which helps with control and balance. And as for the fit, it’s snug. The upper hugs the foot nicely, locking it in so I don’t feel loose or sloshing around. Once broken in, it gives a secure wrap that supports aggressive movement. That said, there are a few drawbacks that stuck out during play. The tight fit can actually be a liability for anyone with wider feet. I felt some pressure initially around the midfoot, and I saw others say they had to size up just to get a comfortable fit. Also, while you get that low‑to‑ground feel, the tradeoff is that lateral stability isn’t as rock solid as I hoped: in very aggressive side‑to‑side maneuvers, there was a hint of give, which made me cautious. And in dusty courts, the traction, although good, would occasionally lose grip until I wiped it, which breaks the flow mid game. Finally, the break‑in period is long with the cage and upper feel firm at first, so you have to play through some stiffness before things soften up. In summary, the Nike JA 3 is a compelling option if you favor a shoe that connects you to the floor, with excellent traction and a lockdown fit. It gives a second skin feel, which is great for ball control and quicker adjustments. On the flip side, its snugness might be a dealbreaker for wide feet, and the lateral stability leaves room for improvement. For my style of play, it’s a solid pick, maybe not perfect, but with more ups than downs.

Unique, One Of A Kind Shoe!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike JA 3 basketball shoe is almost too perfect for playing basketball. This is not your average high-top, heavy neutral colored basketball shoe. I love that this shoe is low-top, but it gives the ankle support of a high-top sneaker. If you want to feel shoeless on the basketball court, this shoe is for you with its light weight design. Out with the old, in with the new. No more boring black or white basketball shoes. The JA 3 basketball shoe is available in a unique colorway. One shoe is a university gold and yellow, while the other is a university blue and yellow. The only complaint I have about this shoe is that the toe box is narrow. If you have wide feet this shoe may be uncomfortable. I would suggest anyone who is looking for a great basketball shoe checkout the Nike JA 3 shoes.

Comfortable And Great Grip

Purchased for my 12 year-old son. He says they are lightweight, comfortable, and have very good grip.
