Nike Ja 3 Uncle Phil Release Date

The Nike Ja 3 “Uncle Phil” brings another personal chapter to Ja Morant’s signature line. Ja has never shied away from crediting his family for the foundation of his career, and this pair honors his uncle — someone who’s been in his corner since day one. Warmth and motion define that feeling, and it is something that shows up in a sneaker in the form of this colorway. It’s like a series of Polaroids from a family trip made into a pair of kicks.

The upper is a navy knit with neon yellow laces and accents that have a homey, playful energy. A neon red Swoosh pops across the side. Underfoot, full-length ZoomX cushioning keeps the Ja 3 responsive for guards who rely on burst and change-of-speed plays. That translucent outsole glow adds a little “you’ll notice this in motion” flair.

Compared to the louder “At Dawn” pair, this one feels more emotional — less about grind, more about gratitude.
