Nike Ja 4 "Jaws" Revealed: Ja Morant Debuts It on the EYBL Court First, Dropping September 25

Ja Morant's signature shoe, the Nike Ja 4 "Jaws," echoes his nickname with an icy blue colorway. It first surfaced on-court at EYBL Las Vegas before its official launch on September 25 via Nike.com and select retailers, priced at $130.

The signature shoe hasn't even hit shelves yet, and it's already been spotted on the court — a move Nike has been leaning into lately, and Ja Morant is no exception this time around. The Nike Ja 4 "Jaws" made its first appearance not in an official catalog, but on Morant's own feet courtside at EYBL Las Vegas.

"Jaws" is Ja Morant's nickname, and the shoe's colorway plays directly into it: Diffused Blue, Glacier Blue, and Chambray layer together in cold, sharp tones, as if channeling the bite behind the nickname into the shoe's color-blocked panels. There's no flashy graphics here — the design speaks entirely through color.

The Nike Ja 4 "Jaws" will officially release on September 25, 2026 via Nike.com and select retail partners, styled under IM4135-401 and priced at $130. The timing also explains why the shoe made its first appearance at a youth event like EYBL — for the brand, getting the next generation of players to see and talk about it on the court is itself the most direct form of pre-release exposure.

For now, the only confirmed details are the colorway, style code, release date, and price — further design details and tech specs have yet to be revealed.
