Spring is the time to step out in colour. A lot of colour. So, to ensure the discerning gent can step out this spring in glorious technicolour, the timely release of the new Nike Ja 3 “Murray State” trainer is a touch serendipity. It also has deeper meaning as the trainer is also a tribute to Ja Morant’s alma mater, with a bold colour contrast design that will definitely catch the eye.
The trainer features a breathable white mesh upper with reinforced tactile overlays that shift from yellow to blue on the left shoe, and from blue to yellow on the right, echoing Murray State’s school colours. Each shoe is finished with a colour-matched rubber outsole, creating a striking pattern that highlights the Racer-inspired theme. Branding details include Ja’s signature elements across the tongue and heel, while the low-top silhouette emphasizes speed and agility.
The sole of the trainer sees the Ja 3 “Murray State” equipped with a full-length hybrid ZoomX foam midsole, Nike’s most responsive cushioning technology, designed to deliver maximum energy return and explosive performance. The trainer’s layered visuals and vibrant palette reflect Morant’s underdog journey at Murray State, blending heritage with modern performance innovation. The new trainers are available from today (5th March 2026) online, RRP £95.
