Nike Ja 3 “Cobalt Bliss” HF2793-400

Sadly, as the weeks in the NBA regular season go by, it’s looking more and more like a lost season for the Memphis Grizzlies. Partially due to scattered absences by their franchise player, Ja Morant, it’ll either be a new era or a quest to return to form on tap next year. Conversely, the Nike Ja 3 has genuinely taken the sneaker world by storm, easily the highest regarded in Morant’s signature line and debatably (less so as its strong colorways continue) a high point in the recent Nike Basketball roster.

Shockingly, one of the few that #12 didn’t bring to the public’s attention, the Nike Ja 3 “Cobalt Bliss” is now looking toward an official release as retailer images touch down. Though we’ve already learned that more Ja x Swarovski product is coming down the pike, the superstar’s love for making an entrance still lights this mainline edition, with a metallic Swoosh its biggest claim to fame. Beyond that, a Grizzlies-esque combo of blues takes up the aggressive design language fans have come to love, split between light blues on the mesh base, dark triangular synthetics above, and a sole unit that settles somewhere in between.

The Nike Ja 3 “Cobalt Bliss” is confirmed to release on February 13th via Nike.com and partnering retailers, commanding a $135 MSRP. Catch studio shots below and keep our coverage within reach for pick-up links and a store list as either come to light.
