Official Images // Nike Ja 3 “EYBL”

Each summer, Nike Basketball releases exclusive editions of its top signature sneakers for the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL), an annual proving ground for emerging talent. For 2025, Ja Morant’s latest model, the Nike Ja 3, joins the tradition with a bold “EYBL” colorway revealed today during the Nike SNKRS Showcase.

The design features a striking pastel palette, dominated by soft pink tones that envelop the upper in engineered mesh and embroidered textiles. Vivid detailing sets this pair apart, highlighted by a graffiti-style yellow and orange “A” motif near the heel. On the medial side, a layered magenta and teal Swoosh injects an unmistakable pop of contrast, while the EYBL logo appears subtly atop the tongue tab, sealing the theme.

Underfoot, the Ja 3 retains its performance pedigree with a ZoomX-cushioned midsole and a rugged, traction-heavy outsole built for stop-and-go explosiveness—mirroring Ja’s on-court style.

While EYBL-themed releases have previously been reserved for players and limited friends-and-family drops, this Ja 3 “EYBL” is slated for a retail release, marking a rare opportunity for fans to own a piece of Nike’s grassroots basketball heritage.

Expect the Nike Ja 3 “EYBL” to be released on at Peach Jam on July 18, with a Nike.com release later on.
