The idea of “the man makes the sneakers” is a true double-edged sword. We’ve seen the impact that winning and marketable personalities can have on the success of signature models, most recently with Anthony Edwards and his first adidas shoe, as well as reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Converse SHAI 001. On the flipside, trade rumors, poor performance, and a calf injury have cast a dark shadow over Ja Morant and the Nike Ja 3, which is especially disappointing given many consider it his best signature model to date.
While we’re not entirely sure where Ja Morant will be playing come Valentine’s Day, we do know what sneakers he’ll be wearing. Here we have the Nike Ja 3 “Valentine’s Day”, shown here via official images after first leaking in October. Dark pink accents sit atop a slightly lighter pink base, while the yellow Sundial shade animates the Swoosh outline and laces.
The Nike Ja 3 “Valentine’s Day” releases February 2026 for $125 in men’s sizes. See official images below and hit our Sneaker Release Dates page to browse more upcoming basketball shoes.
