Ja Morant’s commitment to community and youth development takes center stage with the new Nike Ja 3 “Twelve Time”. Inspired by his Twelve Time AAU basketball team from South Carolina, this colorway captures Morant’s mission to mentor young players while pushing the boundaries of his on-court legacy.
The Ja 3 boasts a bright Bleached Turquoise mesh upper with ZoomX cushioning for a lively bounce back. Bold Vivid Purple and Safety Orange accents pop in the design with two Swooshes down each side. The tongue sports a bold “Twelve Time” emblem, while motivational text — “Bucket in the backyard or bucket in the league” — decorates the inner tongue, highlighting Morant’s belief that a true scorer shines anywhere.
Personal branding continues with Twelve embroidery on the heel and custom insoles featuring his signature and logo graphics. Combined with its textured outsole for multi-directional traction, the Ja 3 Twelve Time delivers both story and performance.
That’s the detail sneakerheads will appreciate — a player-driven tribute that feels as authentic off the court as it does in game mode. Morant’s hands-on leadership with his AAU program fuels this release, connecting passion, mentorship, and performance innovation.
