TLDR: The Nike Ja 3 ‘Year of the Horse’ will be released on 16 January 2026 as part of Nike's CNY collection and will cost €150. With golden Swooshes, pony hair details and a special message on the insole, this colourway is not only a performance shoe but also a cultural statement. As always, all the info can be found at Grailify. With the ‘Year of the Horse’ colourway, Nike combines traditional symbolism with Ja Morant's dynamic signature line. The shoe comes in a striking combination of Light Chocolate, Silt Red and Metallic Gold. The shiny gold Swoosh is particularly eye-catching, referring directly to the 2026 zodiac sign together with the pony hair tongue patch.
The homage to the Chinese New Year is complemented by a Chinese proverb on the insole (一马当先 – ‘One horse leads the way’) and an elaborate packaging concept: the sneaker comes with a gold-plated bag and a red and gold box. Technically, everything remains as usual – ZoomX cushioning and a grippy outsole profile ensure maximum court performance.
