Nike Ja 3 "Tiger" Launching 07/03 Colorway: SAFETY ORANGE/BLACK/UNIVERSITY RED Style: Men's and Kids' Basketball Shoe

Release Date: July 03, 2026

Jun 23, 2026

Feeling ferocious? Then this new Ja 3 colorway is for you. The orange and black "Tiger" is about to drop, so we're letting all the details out of the cage. The Nike Ja 3 will release July 3, and we're hungry to get our feet into them. 

Unleash the Beast With High-Performance Tech and Bold Style

This isn't your average colorway. The newest Ja 3 is positively wild and part of the fierce Animal Pack release. The "Tiger" colorway looks exactly how you might imagine. It features an orange upper with a black tongue and black outsole. Oh, and the best part? The black tiger stripes make these unapologetically animalistic. The visible Air Sole unit is also orange, highlighting the sneaker tech inside. The decadent tangerine hue explodes with style. Even among the neon colors and bold designs, these are sure to stand out on the court and on the street. You'll have the confidence to tear the competition to shreds. 

But the shoe isn't just about looks. Like all the Nike Ja sneakers, these are performance beasts. They feature a ZoomX midsole unit that improves responsiveness and energy return, so you bounce back and spring forward with fervor. The tough rubber outsole improves traction and durability, while the reinforced mesh upper enhances breathability and mobility. Designed for quick cuts and full-court action, these are a must-have if you're a serious player. 

You can harness the savage strength and cool confidence of a tiger when you lace these up. Between their impeccable grip and high-end shock absorption, these are ideal for high-intensity play (or high-impact outfits).

How To Cop the Ja 3 Tiger Release at Hibbett

These fierce and fiery sneakers will release in full men's sizing as well as boys' grade school sizing. That means parents can match their kids, creating adorable, animal-inspired "mini me" looks. Nike Ja 3 shoes mostly run true to size, but they can be a little narrow. If you have wider feet, go up a half size so they don't feel too restrictive. 

Whether you're shopping for your summer wardrobe, your little one or your Nike Ja collection, Hibbett is the best place to find all the available sizes. The "Tiger" colorway is a hot drop, so expect it to sell out quickly. If you want to improve your chances of getting your hands on these sneakers, join the Hibbett Launch Raffle.
