Nike Ja 4 Colorways: Every Release and What’s Coming Next
Four Nike Ja 4 Low colorways have reached a public retail release: ‘Rise’, ‘Nightmare on 12th Street’, ‘NY vs. NY’ and ‘Dark Mode’. The next firmly dated pair is ‘Jaws’ on September 18. Several more projects are visible further down the calendar, but only some have a locked style code, a clean product page and a release date that has stopped moving.
Ja Morant has made color a central part of his signature line, and the fourth shoe is already following that pattern. The temptation with a new model is to call every social-media sample a release. That makes a list look complete for a week and wrong for the next six months. This guide uses a stricter standard: a released pair needs a documented public sale, while an upcoming pair must have at least a credible style code, a brand or retail announcement, or a dated launch listing.

Every Nike Ja 4 colorway released so far
The four released pairs share the same Ja 4 platform—Cushlon 3.0, a responsive SPRPWR sockliner, the TPU JA-Frame and a logo-derived traction pattern—but they do very different visual work. One is loud and celebratory, one turns a launch shoe into horror imagery, one belongs to New York’s summer blacktop circuit, and one strips the model down to near-monochrome.
Released 01
Nike Ja 4 ‘Rise’
Passionate Pink / Black / Racer Pink / Metallic Gold
‘Rise’ introduced the shoe in China before the wider Ja 4 rollout. The near-neon pink upper makes the gold Swoosh and angular JA-Frame read immediately, which is why this remains the clearest colorway for understanding the silhouette at a glance. Its regional debut also explains why import pricing has stayed well above Nike’s $130 launch figure.

Released 02
Nike Ja 4 ‘Nightmare’
Obsidian / Black / Voltage Green / Multi-Color
Nike’s global launch pair moves from dark obsidian at the forefoot into toxic green through the heel, with an iridescent Swoosh and JA-Frame cutting through the gradient. The full name, ‘Nightmare on 12th Street’, turns Ja’s Twelve identity into the model’s first story-driven release without hiding the hardware under a complicated print.

Released 03
Nike Ja 4 ‘NY vs. NY’
Persian Violet / Rio Teal / Iron Grey / Fruit Punch
The New York pair reverses the launch shoe’s dark mood. Violet runs through the forefoot, teal lifts the rear half, and Fruit Punch accents make the Swoosh and frame stand clear of both. Special tongue and insole branding connect it to the city’s summer tournament circuit. It was a public but limited release rather than a standard nationwide inline colorway.

Released 04
Nike Ja 4 ‘Dark Mode’
Black / Cobalt Bliss / Dark Smoke Grey / Metallic Silver
‘Dark Mode’ is the reset after three high-energy releases. Black haptic texture makes the upper’s geometry quieter, while metallic silver and cobalt flashes keep the Swoosh and frame from disappearing. Nike describes the theme as the unseen gym work behind Ja’s game; commercially, it is also the easiest early Ja 4 to wear away from the court.

The next confirmed Nike Ja 4: ‘Jaws’
‘Jaws’ is the first upcoming Ja 4 that can be treated like a real release rather than a calendar placeholder. Official product images are public, the style code is stable, retailer calendars point to September 18, and KICKSOWN already has a dedicated EP listing. Despite the name, current reporting frames it as a shark-film homage rather than a formal movie-studio collaboration.
Coming next
Nike Ja 4 ‘Jaws’
Diffused Blue / Glacier Blue / Chambray / Blackened Blue / Bright Crimson
The blue gradient suggests open water without turning the shoe into costume merchandise. Dark, glossy hardware reads like a fin against the lighter upper, while the tongue’s tooth graphic carries the theme more directly. It is also the first $140 general adult Ja 4 on the current calendar, placing a small premium on the execution.
KICKSOWN’s page is a pre-launch EP listing. The public Nike release remains September 18, 2026.
FAQ
How many Nike Ja 4 colorways have released?
Four Ja 4 Low colorways had received a documented public retail release by September 9, 2026: ‘Rise’, ‘Nightmare on 12th Street’, ‘NY vs. NY’ and ‘Dark Mode’. The count excludes customized products, player exclusives, unreleased samples and the separately reported Ja 4 High.
What is the next Nike Ja 4 colorway to release?
‘Jaws’, style JA9742-400, is the next firmly dated release. Current retailer calendars list September 18, 2026, with a $140 US retail price. KICKSOWN already has a separate EP preview page, but that listing does not move the public Nike launch date forward.
Which Nike Ja 4 colorways are coming later in 2026?
‘Radar’ and ‘Halloween’ are expected in October, while the SLAM collaboration is officially revealed for the broader Fall or Holiday period. Nike Ja 4 By You is also confirmed without a launch date. Additional White, Monarch Purple, Volt and metallic ‘NY’ entries appear in retail databases but do not yet have complete public launch pages.
Do all Nike Ja 4 colorways use the same technology?
The released Ja 4 Low colorways use the same core platform: a Cushlon 3.0 midsole, responsive SPRPWR sockliner, TPU JA-Frame, textured upper and Ja-logo-inspired traction. Regional EP versions may use more durable outsole rubber, while the reported Ja 4 High should be treated as a separate construction until Nike publishes full specifications.
Where can I buy the Nike Ja 4 now?
