TLDR: The Jurassic Park x Nike Ja 3 ‘Raptor’ brings film nostalgia to the court – with an eye-catching gradient, dinosaur details and ZoomX performance. Releasing on 10 April 2026 for €130, with further colourways to follow. With the Jurassic Park x Nike Ja 3 ‘Raptor’, Nike delivers one of the most eye-catching collaborations in basketball for 2026. The connection between Ja Morant’s explosive playing style and the wild energy of the dinosaur franchise works surprisingly well.
Visually, the colourway features a gradient from anthracite to yellow, reminiscent of a raptor’s skin. This is complemented by red Swooshes and branding details inspired by the iconic Jurassic Park logo. Particularly striking: co-branding on the tongue, where the Ja and Jurassic logos face each other.
Nike has also gone all out on the details: insoles featuring dinosaur skeletons, special packaging extras such as an amber keychain, and small design elements that run through the Raptor theme. Overall, a strong storytelling approach that runs through the entire shoe.
Performance remains the focus, however. The Ja 3 features ZoomX cushioning and a grippy outsole for quick cuts and explosive moves – exactly what the Ja is known for.
In addition to the ‘Raptor’, further colourways are currently planned for the Jurassic Pack, including ‘Green Spark’ and ‘Metallic Silver’.
