Nike Ja 3 “Kool-Aid” Releases On May 20th

At his best, Ja Morant has earth-shattering athleticism, something he’s flexed over countless defenders from Derrick White to Victor Wembanyama, the latter only restricted from being an all-time highlight by an early whistle. Perhaps its that ground-shaking ability that makes him a match for another destructive force: The Kool-Aid Man. He and the Grizzlies star have become thick as thieves across Morant’s signature line, so it’s no shock to see the Ja 3 “Kool-Aid” hit the newswire.

To be sure, we’ve been aware of this shoe for months; in a familiar storyline, the Murray State product “leaked” this collaboration in the way he’s done for countless Ja 3 colorways and the Ja 4 model as a whole. Official images of the style touching down only indicate that a release is finally at hand, letting loose a refreshing mismatch concept where chilly blue trim remains in place across either shoe, swapping between lemonade yellow and cherry pink/red. The finer details do really come into view with this studio set, however, revealing graphic insoles with the “Ohhh Yeahhh!!” motto,” alternating branding on the tongues, and icy traction underfoot.

The Nike Ja 3 “Kool-Aid” is confirmed for a May 20th release, set to arrive in adult, GS, and PS sizing. Retail is set at $135 for adults. Catch official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page within reach for more info as it comes.
