Every time Ja steps on the court, it's showtime. To elevate his game, we worked with Ja to make his bounciest signature shoe so far. The Ja 3 is light, tough and a game-changer with full-length 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 Ja sat down with our 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-inspired "A." Scratch marks round out the design to create a shoe ready for the bright lights.
Design:
- The lightweight, durable upper provides a canvas for Ja's unique style of play and the stability he needs to feel shifty.
- Elastic laces and a hook-and-loop strap make these shoes easy to take on and off
In-Shoe Comfort:
- The Ja 3 is our first kids' basketball shoe to use springy ZoomX foam, giving Ja Nike's highest energy return yet. "It's that extra boost when I'm already moving fast," Ja says.
- Soft foam sockliner on top of ZoomX foam helps Ja feel like he's walking on clouds with every move
- Padded collar adds extra cushioning
Durability & Traction:
- Ja knows the outsole on the Ja 3 gives him an edge. "With this grip, I can break defenders off any time I want," he says.
- A traction pattern made up of mini Ja logos lets him cook his opponents and leave his mark on the game.
Additional Details:
- What’s new: "The Ja 2 was about control—locking in," Ja says. "The Ja 3? It's freedom. More bounce, more energy, more movement." The combination of responsive ZoomX foam and the traction pattern helps Ja raise his game.
