Nike Ja 3 EP 'Spooky Season'

The dreary autumn sky dips into darkness. Leaves rustle and scatter as the howling winds begin to whip. An eerie, distant screeching sound gets louder...and closer. A dancing, ghostly glow flickers through the trees, like fire flies—zipping left, right and up—levitating for a moment before a thundering sound crashes through silence, and a primal scream cuts through the night. It's Ja, and he just threw down an electric dunk on a batch of battered zombies in a pick-up game. They can't hang with his slashing quickness. They can't fly with his immortal greatness. When Ja laces up his Ja 3's, the undead are no match for the reckless rim-wrecker.

What's new? "The Ja 2 was about control—locking in," Ja says. "The Ja 3? It's freedom. More bounce, more energy, more movement." The combination of the full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam and the traction pattern helps Ja raise his game.

Ja knows the Ja 3's tuned, zoned outsole gives him an edge. "With this grip I can break defenders off any time I want," Ja says. The traction pattern features allover mini Ja logos, so he can cook his opponents and leave his stamp on the game.

The charged design includes a vibrant, glow-in-the-dark Light Lemon Twist and Hemp green upper, with a matching outsole. A special, fanged dubrae spells out Ja’s surname in glowing veneer. It's all tricks and no treats for your defenders—welcome to the “Spooky Season.”
