Ja Morant and Nike are serving up something different this spring, and it's got us saying "Ohhh Yeah!" The Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 2 brings the iconic beverage brand's fun-loving spirit to the basketball court, mixing Ja's explosive play style with Kool-Aid's unmistakable personality.
The design features a striking mismatched color scheme, with the left shoe showcasing a blue raspberry gradient that transitions smoothly into black, while the right shoe displays a bold cherry red-to-orange fade. The signature Kool-Aid Man makes an appearance on the tongue, adding character to the collaborative design. The details throughout are thoughtfully executed: the "Ohhh Yeah!" text is embroidered inside the collar, while signature wall-cracking graphics appear on the lateral side. Splatter paint accents and quilted heel counters - designed to represent condensation - add depth to the overall aesthetic. Completing the design, Ja's "12 AM" branding appears in Kool-Aid's distinctive typography.
The Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 2 releases on May 15th, 2025, with a retail price of $130. Look for this collaboration at select Nike Basketball retailers and the Nike SNKRS app. To keep up with upcoming Nike Basketball releases, download our mobile app and follow us on Twitter.
