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

• When the first light cuts though the early morning darkness, Ja’s already been on the court perfecting his craft. His work ethic is as reliable as the sun rising and setting. “Daybreak” keeps that same energy, taking its cues from the dawn that signals it’s go time

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
