The start of the NBA regular season has been nothing short of disastrous for the Memphis Grizzlies. Not only are they buried at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, but they have had locker room issues between coach Tuomas Iisalo and point guard Ja Morant.

While the product the Grizzlies are putting on the court has been subpar, Morant's signature Nike sneaker line could not be doing better. The Nike Ja 3 has dropped in several exciting styles, and Morant just teased seven upcoming colorways.

Update - Spring and Summer Preview

Nike has confirmed to Sports Illustrated's Kicks On SI that Morant previewed the spring and summer colorways of the Ja 3. Each style is to "continue to celebrate Ja's family and community while leaning into the bold, energetic colorways that will stand out on foot."

Ja 3 (bright pink) - Inspired Morant's love for Japanese jellybean candies.

Ja 3 (Year of the Horse) - Inspired by the Chinese New Year's 'Year of the Horse', celebrating the power of those born in this year.

Ja 3 (mismatched yellow, blue, and black - Home and Away) - Inspired by his alma mater, Morant continues to celebrate his hoops journey, paying homage to his time at Murray State.

Ja 3 (12 Time) - Inspired by his AAU team, 12 Time. Core to Morant's mission, he is building a platform for the next generation on their journey to greatness leading with love for the game. This colorway celebrates the grit and the grind it takes to be the best.

Ja 3 (At Dawn) - Inspired by the work Morant puts in to be great. That happens at dawn when the competition is still sleep.

Ja 3 (Uncle Phil) - Through the years, Morant has celebrated his family as key pillars to his success. This colorway celebrates his Uncle Phil, a constant in his life from day 1. This colorway is inspired by love and the fun times they share on family vacation.

Ja 3 (Let Me Be Ja) - Players and fans have seen the AF1. Morant had to make one for the court, too. A reminder to be yourself and that you are enough.

Morant shared a picture of seven incredible colorways of the Nike Ja 3 on X with the caption, "Might as well, it's Friday @nikebasketball." Nike co-signed the leaked image as the brand reposted Morant's post on its official X account.

While none of the never-before-seen colorways have names or release dates yet, it has not stopped sneakerheads from discussing the unreleased shoes.

The colorways include: red/black, yellow/black/red, pink/yellow, teal/red, blue/white/yellow, orange/black, and blue/red/yellow. Along with every other basketball fan, we cannot wait to learn the story behind each of these designs.

Morant intentionally spoiled the unveiling of his unreleased sneakers on social media because he has been vocal about his frustration with fans leaking pictures of his basketball shoes before they hit shelves.

But who can blame fans for being so eager to discuss the hottest hoop shoe on the market? The first few colorways of the Nike Ja 3 sold out quickly, but fans can finally choose between multiple colorways in full-family sizing ($87-$125) at Nike.com.

Tech specs for the Nike Ja 3 include a full-length Hybrid ZoomX foam, a foam sockliner, a traction pattern featuring all-over mini Ja logos, and padded collars that add extra cushioning. Lastly, the mesh breathable upper makes the perfect canvas to tell Morant's story.

However, Morant's sneakers have not been able to avoid drama either. Rapper 2 Chainz voiced his displeasure with the shoe's issues on social media, echoing many of the same sentiments hoopers have discussed online.

Additionally, Morant has had to issue a warning to potential buyers about pictures of fake Nike Ja 3s circulating on social media. But that comes with the territory of having the most discussed basketball shoe in the world right now.
