Each summer, New York City comes alive with the energy of streetball—iconic courts, heated rivalries, and tournaments that define the culture. Now, Nike is tapping into that tradition with the Ja 3 “NY vs NY,” a bold new colorway unveiled as part of the brand’s latest SNKRS Showcase.
The pair is decked out in jet black from top to bottom, acting as a canvas for high-energy graphics. Hits of orange, blue, and neon green are painted across the upper, most notably forming a graffiti-style “A” on the heel and outlining the Swoosh with a gradient fade. The gritty look matches the intensity of the NY vs NY tournament circuit—where playground legends are made every summer.
Like other Ja 3 releases, this edition comes equipped with Zoom cushioning and a grippy patterned outsole made to handle fast cuts and explosive takeoffs. This release marks yet another local homage following themed editions like the EYBL and Day One.
Expect the Nike Ja 3 “NY vs NY” to land on Nike.com and select retailers in the coming weeks—just in time for peak tournament play.
