Nike has officially unveiled the Ja 4 "Nightmare," the debut colorway of Ja Morant's fourth signature shoe. The pair arrives in an Obsidian and Voltage Green makeup under style code IM4135-405 and is set to release on August 13, 2026, SneakerNews reported, at an expected $130.
The Ja line has always been built around speed and low-to-the-ground quickness, and the fourth model keeps that brief: a lightweight, guard-friendly build tuned for Morant's downhill game. The dark base with acid-green pops leans into the "Nightmare" theme, the kind of villain-coded storytelling Nike has used to frame Morant's highlight-reel identity since the line launched, per Sole Retriever.
The read: the shoe lands at a genuine inflection point for its namesake. Morant arrives at his fourth signature having just been traded from Memphis to the Portland Trail Blazers, a fresh start after years of on- and off-court turbulence. That Nike is still expanding a full signature line around him — in a 2026 landscape crowded with 33 signature athletes — is a vote of confidence in his marketability that not every brand would still make. For Morant, a new team and a new shoe is a clean slate on both fronts.
