Nike is celebrating the vibrant spirit of New York City streetball with a special edition Nike Ja 3 “NY vs NY.” This new colorway pays homage to the legendary summer basketball tournament series that pits the city’s boroughs against each other, showcasing raw talent and intense competition on iconic outdoor courts. The shoe features a dynamic and bold color scheme that captures the essence of summer streetball. A sleek, stealthy black upper forms its foundation, enhanced by intricate textures that promise both grip and enduring resilience. A vibrant orange spray-painted “A” boldly merges with the signature Swoosh on one side, cleverly forming the “JA” graphic — a direct nod to Ja Morant‘s explosive presence. This fierce detail is balanced by a striking neon yellow Swoosh on the opposite side, injecting a sharp, energetic pop. The tongue proudly displays a light blue “NY vs NY” logo, celebrating New York’s iconic streetball tradition.
Originally teased during the SNKRS Showcase, the Ja 3 maintains its proven performance credentials. It retains trusted Zoom Air cushioning for responsive support, ensuring quick cuts and dynamic play are met with ample comfort. Beyond its technical prowess, subtle design elements further elevate the sneaker’s narrative. Orange “TWELVE” embroidery on the heel directly references Ja Morant’s jersey number, while stylized graphics throughout the shoe imbue it with an undeniable urban flair.
