More Info: Nike Release Dates

Regarding upcoming Nike Ja 3 releases, Ja Morant has been on a great run with some incredible pairs dropping. Of course, this is my opinion, but another pair that hits a home run is the “Uncle Phil” Ja 3. While some might think this pair is a tribute to Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, it’s not. Morant Uncle, Phil Morant is the inspiration behind this pair.

Uncle Phil has been a big part of Ja Morant’s life, and this Nike Ja 3 is a tribute. As for the colorway, it features Blue Chill, Fire Red, Zitron, and Blue Legend. As you can see, the upper features a Navy mesh with a metallic finish. The same treatment is given to the thread overlays. Standing out, Neon adorns the laces and underneath the encapsulated sole. More Blue lands on the tongues and liner, while Red appears on the Ja logo, Swoosh, and other branding throughout. The look is completed with a Light Blue rubber outsole.

Bottom Line

Another Nike Ja 3 that I am a big fan of. The story is cool, and it’s a tribute to his Uncle. These are the types of stories that people are drawn to. While I feel the Ja 3 is a big upgrade compared to the 2, what’s even better is the themes Nike is dropping. They aren’t slowing down on the releases either. Depending on the timing of the release, this will either be purchased right away, or I might have to wait a bit.
