Nike JA 3 EP Low Top Basketball Shoe IM0464-001
Nike JA 3 EP — Ja Morant’s Third Signature, Built for the Fastest Game
The Nike JA 3 EP is the third chapter of Ja Morant’s signature basketball shoe — and the most refined expression yet of the design philosophy that has defined the JA line from the beginning: speed, explosiveness, and the kind of low-to-the-ground court feel that lets the fastest player in the NBA play his game without the shoe getting in the way. Style IM0464-001 delivers that formula in the EP (Extra Performance) construction, engineered for the demands of outdoor and high-intensity court play. This is the JA 3 built to keep up with Ja.
Design Heritage
Ja Morant plays basketball at a pace that most players can only watch. His first two signature shoes were built around that reality — lightweight, low-profile, and engineered for the explosive first step and aerial athleticism that have made him one of the most electrifying players in the league. The JA 3 advances that formula with updated cushioning, a refined upper construction, and the EP outsole compound that extends the shoe’s performance life on outdoor courts. The IM0464-001 colorway brings that technical platform to a clean, versatile palette built for the court and the street.
Key Features

- Outsole: EP (Extra Performance) rubber compound for enhanced durability and grip on outdoor and indoor court surfaces

Sizing Guide
Available in Men’s EU 40–45. Nike JA 3 sizing runs true to size for most foot types. The low-top construction provides a snug, performance-oriented fit — those with wider feet may prefer to size up half a size for added comfort. For basketball use, a secure fit with minimal heel slip is recommended. Refer to the size chart for precise foot length measurements before ordering.
Why the JA 3 EP?
Ja Morant plays like the game is moving in slow motion for everyone else. The JA 3 EP was built to match that pace — the Zoom Air forefoot keeps your first step as explosive as his; the herringbone traction keeps you honest on cuts and direction changes; and the EP outsole ensures the shoe performs whether you’re on a hardwood court or an outdoor blacktop. The IM0464-001 colorway brings all of that to a clean, versatile palette that works on the court and off it. This is Ja’s shoe — built for those who play like they mean it.
