A Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 2 Bursts Through in 2025
'Ohhh Yeah!' The collaborations for Ja Morant keep on coming, and the latest was just revealed: the Kool-Aid x . With this colourful release, Nike continue to capitalise on their young star who is enjoying a season back in action. Ja’s team, the Memphis Grizzlies, currently sit at #3 in the NBA’s loaded Western Conference, and his signature Swoosh releases enjoy an equally successful run.
The Kool-Aid x Ja 2 take on a ‘what the’ design with one shoe imitating the blue raspberry flavour with bright blue gradient fading to black, and the other shoe taking on the cherry red flavour and blending into orange. Both shoes also feature a 'cracks in the wall' graphic harkening the Kool-Aid Man’s signature wall-burst move. Beyond the bright colours, the details truly tie the sneaker together: inside the tongue is embroidered the Kool-Aid Man’s catchphrase 'Ohhh Yeah!' and on the heal in Kool-Aid font is Ja Morant’s '12 AM' branding. Additionally, the tongues bear the Kool-Aid man himself, the midsole uses a paint splatter design, and the outsoles glow in the dark. With this sneaker, Nike and Ja get playful and deliver an eye-catching design.
While first looks are just surfacing, the Kool-Aid x Nike Ja 2 is expected to release on May 15, 2025 for $130. Keep it right here for any updates.
