Try as you may, Ja Morant, sometimes the “leak” cycle just has you beat. Though many of the “first looks” we’ve gotten at the nascent Nike Ja 3 have come by Morant’s own hand, the sneaker internet still holds onto a winning record overall. The latest to fall in the future plan’s of #12’s signature shoe is the Nike Ja 3 “Valentine’s Day,” of course queued up for a February release.
This makes the third holiday-centric pair to surface, following a hi-vis Ja 3 “Christmas” and a zombified Ja 3 “Halloween.” While both of those pairs were rather innovative in how they took to their commemorative colorways, the Ja 3 “Valentine’s Day” is rather by-the-book, at least by comparison. The continuingly cutting-edge design choice of the silhouette, including the “Scratch” like synthetic details in the upper and the Ja logo traction underfoot mean that this pair won’t resemble much of what brands trot out next Spring.
However, in terms of color choices, this sticks to the romantic script that design teams have relished for decades; rosy pinks and red dance across the profile, particularly effective with a champagne-like sole unit, while a bit of contrast coloring arrives with an orange Swoosh outline and alternate lacing options.
Though no date has been tied down yet, the Nike Ja 3 “Valentine’s Day” is due out sometime in February 2026. We’d wager the usual $125/$130 retail price will be on tap once dropped.
