Duke Debuts Exclusive Nike Ja 3 PE

Since its debut earlier this year, the Nike Ja 3 has continued to impress with a steady lineup of standout colorways — and the latest one comes straight from Durham. During Duke’s recent matchup, freshman forward Pat Ngongba II debuted the program’s exclusive Nike Ja 3 PE, offering a first look at a design built for Blue Devil pride, as captured by SlamKicks.

The pair arrives in Duke’s signature royal blue with black tiger-like overlays, metallic silver Swooshes, and the team’s “D” logo molded into the midsole. It continues the Ja 3’s sharp, geometric design language, paired with the aggressive traction pattern and sculpted cushioning setup that’s quickly made the model a favorite among college programs.

While this Duke-exclusive PE isn’t expected to release, it joins a growing list of eye-catching Ja 3 makeups — from player editions to general releases — that showcase just how strong the line has been since launch.

For Nike Ja 3s that will be releasing, make sure to checkout this "Cobalt Bliss" colorway.
