The Nike Ja 3 "Jurassic Park" Pack is Parked on Shelves

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant had one of the more disappointing seasons of his NBA career. However, Morant continues to take a bite out of the sneaker industry with each new release of his third signature Nike basketball shoe.

One of the most anticipated drops of the Nike Ja 3 was a dual-release as part of a collaboration with the Jurassic Park film franchise. The shoes hit shelves last week and are still available at or below the retail price online.

Sadly, the Nike Ja 3 "Jurassic Park" sneakers did not launch alongside a matching apparel collection. However, the shoes do come with extra accessories. In addition to special packaging, a "Ja-Rassic Par" keychain is included with each pair of shoes.

Additionally, there is a third colorway of the collection on the way. A Metallic Silver design is expected to be released later this month to complete the trilogy. Fans can expect to learn more details within the next week.
