From the moment I laced up the shoes, I could tell this was a serious performance upgrade. The ZoomX cushioning is incredibly responsive. It absorbs impact and gives you that extra spring when driving or exploding off the dribble. It feels like the perfect balance between comfort and control. I grew up on Kyrie’s line; this shoe immediately gave me those same locked-in, agile vibes but with 10x the performance enhancements. The outsole is everything: the same grip pattern extends up the sides of the shoe, so even when you plant or pivot hard, you never lose traction. That design choice feels intentional and built for hoopers who really move. The Ja 3 looks great, feels even better, and performs at a level that makes you want to stay in the gym longer. Nike absolutely crushed this one.
Ja 3 "Scratch 3.0"
Basketball Shoes
Every time Ja steps on the court, it's showtime. To help him elevate his game, we worked with him to make the bounciest JA signature shoe so far. The JA 3 is light, tough and a game-changer with full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam. "ZoomX is crazy responsive", Ja says. "I call it that jet fuel". We call it bad news for his defenders.

Grind and grit
Ja's grit has blended perfectly with Memphis' grind. "Scratched" salutes the Grizzlies' northern origins and Ja's ferocious style of play that he brought to the Music City.
More zoom. More boom.
Full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam gives Ja Nike's highest energy return. "It's that extra boost when I'm already moving fast", Ja says.
Put them on notice
Ja knows the JA 3's tuned, zoned outsole gives him an edge. "With this grip I can break defenders off any time I want", Ja says. The traction pattern features all-over mini JA logos, so he can cook his opponents and leave his stamp 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 shifty.
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 the full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam and the traction pattern helps Ja raise his game.
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-sprayed "A"—and grimy scratch marks make a groundbreaker that's ready for the bright lights.
More benefits
- Foam sockliner on top of full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam has Ja feeling like he's on clouds with every move.
- Padded collar adds cushioning.

Shoe of the year HANDS DOWN I got every pair that dropped so far
Basketball shoe of the year.

Best basketball shoe out. Colorway are dope. The shoes have a slight tight fit that you'll have to break in, but very comfortable. This is my son's second pair. He loves them.
