Nike Ja 3 'Zombie' Release Date
Ja Morant is ready for Halloween.ByAaron ShamimSep 05, 2025

Nike Basketball is celebrating Halloween 2025 in style with the Nike Ja 3 'Zombie,' a chilling follow-up to the eerie themes seen in Ja Morant’s earlier signature line. Inspired by the original Ja 1 'Zombie' from 2023, this new release takes the fright factor up a notch, combining performance-ready features with bold, supernatural design details. The sneaker sports a volt and slime green upper textured with a skeletal print, accented by a jagged black and pink Swoosh for extra edge. Brown laces, fang-shaped lace dubraes spelling out “MORANT,” and glow-in-the-dark overlays complete the sinister look, ensuring the pair feels right at home on Halloween night.

Beyond the visuals, the Ja 3 'Zombie' is built with functionality in mind. A glow-in-the-dark outsole and zombie-inspired insoles featuring horror-style graphics give the shoe its spooky identity, while Morant’s “TWELVE” stitched on the heel and his signature logo on the tongue anchor the design in personal detail. Underneath, Nike equips the model with ZoomX cushioning, offering explosive energy return and responsiveness for players who want flash and speed to match the visuals. Scheduled to release on October 21, 2025, this drop is both a collector’s piece with its unique design and a high-performance hoop shoe—perfect for hooping under the lights or haunting the streets.
