The Ja 3 is our first kids' basketball shoe to use springy ZoomX foam, giving Ja Nike's highest energy return yet. "It's that extra boost when I'm already moving fast," Ja says.
Put Them on Notice
Ja needs traction, and he knows the outsole on the Ja 3 helps give him an edge. "I need to trust my shoes when it's time to take off, change direction and land hard," he says. A traction pattern made up of mini Ja logos helps him leave his mark on the game as he shifts in and out of the action.
Built Tough for 12
The lightweight, durable upper provides a canvas for Ja's unique style of play and the stability he needs to shift in and out of the action.
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-inspired "A." Scratch marks round out the design to create a shoe ready for the bright lights.
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 responsive ZoomX foam and the traction pattern helps Ja raise his game.
Elastic laces and a hook-and-loop strap make these shoes easy to take on and off.
Soft foam sockliner on top of recycled ZoomX foam helps Ja feel like he's walking on clouds with every move.
Padded collar adds extra cushioning.
