Ja Morant has finished the US leg of his Make Them Watch tour after stopping at the EYBL Peach Jam and NYvsNY tournaments. Next up for the Grizzlies star is the Asian leg, stopping in China, Tokyo, and the Philippines before heading back home to prep for the 2025-2026 NBA season. Surrounding all of this is Morant’s latest signature sneaker with Nike, the Nike Ja 3, which has now appeared in a Mink Brown colorway.
Saying it has now appeared is a bit of a stretch, as Morant himself continued his vow to “leak” his own sneakers. Earlier in the week, Ja posted a video showcasing 10 different colorways of the Ja 3, including this pictured Mink Brown colorway. The engineered mesh base is coated in this mink brown shade, while the raised TPU reinforcements (themselves made up of mini “Ja” logos) are black.
Pink accents pop on the slanted Swoosh on the midfoot, which helps form the semi-hidden “JA” on the midfoot and on the medial Swoosh. TMT and Ja logos atop the tongue take on a light blue hue, while the heel’s “TWELVE” text is rendered in pink. Down below sits a black and brown rubber midsole featuring ZoomX cushioning throughout. Ja’s name also helps form the traction pattern on the outsole, which wraps up onto the sidewall of the sole unit.
The Nike Ja 3 Mink Brown will release October 15, 2025, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $125.
