Nike Ja 4 "Deep Water"

Ja Morant Heads Into Deep Water

The Nike Ja 4 "Deep Water" gives Ja Morant's fourth signature shoe an aquatic look with a cinematic edge. Its inspiration reaches back to Jaws, pairing the unease of open water with the speed and aggression associated with Morant's game. He first brought the colorway onto the court during EYBL action in Las Vegas, giving the shoe an early appearance in the setting it was built for.

Three Shades Below the Surface

Diffused Blue, Glacier Blue, and Chambray shape the entire palette. Instead of relying on a sharp contrasting color, the design layers related blues to create depth across the upper and sole. The result feels cooler and more restrained than a literal shark graphic while still making the water theme immediately readable.

A Court Shoe With a Thriller Reference

The Jaws connection gives "Deep Water" its identity without separating it from the Ja line. It remains a performance basketball release first, with the themed color treatment wrapped around Morant's signature silhouette. That balance makes the pair easy to understand on court: a player-driven shoe with a pop-culture reference beneath the surface.

A Foot Locker Exclusive

Nike's Ja 4 "Deep Water" releases September 25 as a Foot Locker exclusive. The official color listing is Diffused Blue/Glacier Blue/Chambray, and the pair carries style code JA9742-400.
