Ja 3 "Lunar New Year" IB6508-200

Basketball Shoes
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.

Go be Ja
2026 is the year of the horse in Chinese Zodiac. Those born during 2026 are full of activity, power and energy. Sounds just like Ja to us. May you and Ja have a year full of prosperity, deep playoff runs and plentiful highlights that flood timelines and take social media by storm.
More Zoom. More Boom.
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.
Put Them on Notice
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.
Built Tough for 12
The lightweight, durable upper provides a canvas for Ja's unique style of play and the stability he needs to feel shifty.
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 the full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam and the traction pattern helps Ja raise his game.
Ja Dropping Design
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-sprayed "A"—and grimy scratch marks make a groundbreaker that's ready for the bright lights.
Foam sockliner on top of full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam has Ja feeling like he's on clouds with every move.
Padded collar adds cushioning.
