Nike Ja 3 Halloween unveiled: first glimpse and details of special October colorway

As Halloween approaches, Nike is preparing a new salvo for its Ja Morant line. The first images of Ja 3 set the tone, with striking hues and assertive storytelling.

Ja Morant, a third signature for speed

The Ja 3 retains its low-slung silhouette, designed for directional changes. The profile seems sharper than the previous generation. The shoe promises support close to the foot. Traction is aimed at rapid recovery on every support.

The design plays a nervous score, with visual layers superimposed. Then, dynamic cut-outs emphasize the heel-to-toe axis. The Nike brand becomes more aggressive, like a bolt of lightning. This language creates a clear identity on the floor.

“A pair designed to shine by night, and score by day.”

Materials, comfort and technical benchmarks

The construction combines lightness and lateral stability. In addition, the upper features targeted reinforcements in wear zones. The foam appears firm at the heel, then more reactive at the front. The aim is to strike a balance between cushioning and ground feel.

For agile players, the foot roll remains fluid. What’s more, the medial notch promotes a cleaner transition. Nike has calibrated a fast model for outdoor use. The result is a reliable pair for intense sessions.

Color and visual storytelling: Halloween and Zombie

Nike – Nike Ja 3 “Halloween” (Basketball; colors green/neon + black + red; $140)
Thoughtful for chill night, the pair contrasts acid green, black inserts, and bright red accents.

The “Halloween” theme invokes the imagery of neon lights and shadows. Red details suggest splashes, while green stands out under artificial light. The Nike markings stand out against the dark upper, like a signal. The ensemble captures the eye without losing its sporty appeal.

Narratively speaking, the shoe fits Ja Morant’s style. On the other hand, it remains easy to read on a daily basis, even off the floor. The color code speaks to those who like pairs with character. The message remains clear: visual audacity, and efficiency at stake.

Focus on the “Zombie” edition

Nike – Nike Ja 3 “Zombie” (Basketball; mottled green colorway, brown laces, red accents, glow-in-the-dark details; $140)
Mottled green and phosphorescent effects support the macabre mood, backed by brown laces and red accents.

Zombie” rendering evokes the textures of horror films. As a result, glow-in-the-dark effects make sense in a darkened room. The Nike signature remains visible without stealing the spotlight from the pattern. This mix amuses collectors, then reassures players about legibility.

Useful points: price, size and exit window

Budget-wise, the line is advertised at $140. The entry ticket thus remains stable for a young signature. Distributors have confirmed that availability is expected in late October. The calendar may change, but the target remains Halloween.

Sizes will cover adults first, then some junior ranges. In addition, stocks vary according to region and store. Demand is likely to be strong for these special colors. Nike knows how to manage these peaks with staggered roll-outs.

For field use, aim for your usual performance shoe size. On the other hand, wide feet will prefer a quick fitting. The upper appears close to the foot, with straightforward lacing. Fans of the Nike Ja saga should find these shoes a pleasure to wear.
