The fourth signature shoe for Ja Morant, in the "Nightmare" colorway: Obsidian and black with Voltage Green as the accent. Cushioning comes from Cushlon 3.0 foam with a responsive sockliner layered on top of it. The upper is a lightweight foam carrying textured haptic overlays for grip and durability, and a lateral JA-frame wraps the midfoot to keep the foot contained through cuts. The rubber outsole runs a traction pattern derived from Morant's own logo. Two pieces of text are worked into the shoe: a phrase moulded into the outsole and a second line along the side of the JA-frame, both drawn from things Morant has said.
It is scheduled for August 13, 2026 at $130, in a men's size run from 3.5. Nike tags the shoe for basketball. That price is low for a modern signature model; the Ja line has been positioned as accessible from the start, and it lands $80 under the LeBron XXIII arriving days earlier. Morant plays guard for the Portland Trail Blazers, and the build matches: a low, contained fit with foam cushioning rather than a plated setup.
