TLDR: The Nike Ja 2 ‘Tropical Punch’ brings summer to a boil with a bright Kool-Aid colourway. Packed with playful details and strong performance – release on 3 July for €135. The Nike Ja 2 is bidding farewell with a splash – in the form of the second colourway from its collaboration with Kool-Aid. Following on from the previously released ‘Mixed Berry’, the Nike Ja 2 ‘Tropical Punch’ will be released on 3 July 2025 – a brightly coloured sneaker that combines fun, style and Ja Morant's signature technology.
Compared to the first drop, the ‘Tropical Punch’ features a more harmonious colour scheme instead of a striking mismatch. A lively transition from neon red in the forefoot to bright pink at the heel dominates the upper, while icy blue on the outsole and scattered speckles provide balance. Details such as water droplet structures on the overlays and a broken wall graphic behind the Swoosh reference the iconic Kool-Aid Man.
Morant's ‘12:AM’ logo on the heel completes the look with a nod to his ‘Midnight Grind’ mentality. But the shoe doesn't just score points visually: the performance package remains as strong as ever with lightweight support, responsive cushioning and a low-cut design for quick moves on the court.
