You Better Be Nice if You Want this Nike Ja 3 under the Christmas Tree

Memphis Grizzlies star, Ja Morant, has one of the NBA's widely-agreed upon best signature sneakers in the Nike Ja 3. After launching in its debut "Light Show" greyscale makeover, the hoops model has surfaced in a bright update inspired by Christmas.

Although official photos of the Nike Basketball design have yet to surface, Instagram user @prm.cotd shared an early photo of the pair to his Stories. The impending Ja 3 "Christmas" features a vibrant "Volt/White/Bright Crimson/Black" color scheme across its cleverly-crafted build. A Kobe 6 "Grinch"-reminiscent tone takes over most of the sneaker's lower-half, while gradient yellow-to-red flair animates overlays closest to the tongue and collar. The vertically-placed swoosh on the lateral profile deviates from the bulk of its surroundings in "Black."

Enjoy an early-look at the X-Mas-inspired basketball shoe for Morant ahead. Pairs are expected to release via Nike.com on Friday, Dec. 26, for $135.

Away from the world of hoops, more and more Jordan releases continue to celebrate Michael Jordan's legacy off-the-court.
