The Nike Ja 4 “Radar” takes Ja Morant’s fourth signature shoe in a wild
The upper is covered in a thermal heat map graphic that transitions from obsidian blue to total orange, laser orange, cobalt bliss, and racer blue. The colors shift across the shoe like a weather radar. Style code JA9745-400. Retail is $140. October 2026 release via SNKRS, Foot Locker, DSG, and Hibbett.
What makes the Radar work is that the thermal graphic is not random. It follows the lines of the shoe. The warmer colors hit where the shoe has more structural elements, like the Swoosh and the support frame. The cooler colors flow across the mesh upper. It is one of those colorways that looks better the longer you stare at it.
The Ja 4 as a silhouette has been surprisingly good. The fourth model has a more aggressive shape than the Ja 3, with sharper lines and a more defined support structure. It looks like a basketball shoe should look in 2026. Not trying to be a lifestyle shoe. Not pretending to be retro. Just a modern performance basketball shoe with real personality.
Nike has been loading the Ja 4 with colorways this year. Deep Water, Halloween, Nightmare, Pink Rise, NY vs NY. The Radar might be the most visually striking of all of them. It is not a shoe for people who want to blend in.
October 2026. $140. SNKRS, Foot Locker, DSG, Hibbett. If you want a basketball shoe that looks like nothing else on the market, this is it.
$140. October 2026. SNKRS and select retailers.
