[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased these basketball shoes for my volleyball player and she absolutely loves them. She made sure the shoes had good grip as her position really calls for a lot of movement in the court. The other important factor was comfort, she says the fit perfect like a glove. Highly recommend these shoes.

Every time Ja steps on the court, it's showtime. To elevate his game, we've worked with Ja to make his bounciest signature shoe so far. The JA 3 is light, tough and a game-changer with springy ZoomX foam. "ZoomX is crazy responsive", Ja says. "I call it that jet fuel". We call it bad news for his defenders.

JA 3
Every time Ja steps on the court, it's showtime. To elevate his game, we've worked with Ja to make his bounciest signature shoe so far. The JA 3 is light, tough and a game-changer with springy ZoomX foam. "ZoomX is crazy responsive", Ja says. "I call it that jet fuel". We call it bad news for his defenders.
Lights on
This special design reflects Ja's ability to shine when the lights come on after he's grinded in the dark to be great. It has a white and grey scratch pattern featuring a bright "Ja" graffiti-style hit. It's tooled with ZoomX foam for that bouncy feel to help you flash above your competition.
Ultra-responsive foam
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 knows the outsole on the JA 3 gives him an edge. "With this grip, I can break defenders off any time I want", he says. A traction pattern made up of mini JA logos lets him cook his opponents and leave his mark on the game.
Built tough for 12
The lightweight, durable upper provides a canvas for Ja's unique style of play and the stability he needs to feel agile.
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 off 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.
More benefits
- The soft foam sockliner on top of ZoomX foam helps Ja feel like he's walking on clouds with every move.
- The padded collar adds extra cushioning.

Huge pop of color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son wanted some basketball shoes with good grip for this upcoming season and boy did he find some. The grip is amazing, and the color is never ending. I may get a pair for myself!
