Nike has officially revealed the Nike Ja 4 “Radar,” delivering a vibrant graphic interpretation of Ja Morant’s fourth signature basketball silhouette. The upcoming colorway introduces a thermal heat map treatment paired with bold structural overlays.
The upper is constructed with a deep purple base overlaid with a bleeding gradient of red, yellow, aqua, and blue hues that simulate a radar scan. Bright orange covers the oversized Swoosh logo alongside sharp, angular support pieces embedded through the midsole. Black accents settle across the tongue, laces with orange trim, collar, and outsole, giving the multi-toned color arrangement a grounded frame.
Shifting away from the softer contours of the Ja 3, the Ja 4 features a more angular build with heavily textured materials and enlarged support structures surrounding the midfoot and heel. Personal details for the guard appear throughout, including Morant’s signature logo on the tongue and repeated “12” markings molded into the orange sections underfoot.
The Nike Ja 4 “Radar” releases in October 2026 for $140 USD.
