In promoting his newest signature Nike Ja 3 sneakers, Ja Morant will go on international tour through July and August 2025. His first stop will be Augusta, Georgia for the Nike EYBL Peach Jam tournament. Then, Morant will head to New York City, China, Tokyo, and his final stop being Manila, Philippines.
To coincide with a number of stops, Nike plans to release graffiti-inspired colorways of the Nike Ja 3 paying homage to important stops on the tour. The three-shoe pack is expected to drop throughout July and August as Ja Morant makes his way in front of a global audience.
Nike Ja 3 x 'Make Them Watch Tour'
The first 'EYBL' colorway will come in the form of a light orange/pink hue to represent Georgia's Peach Jam. The shoes are contrasted by a soft neutral grey, alternating sides throughout the textured ripples of the shoes. The vertical Nike Swoosh is done in hot pink and neon blue, flanked by a graffiti-style 'A' in yellow and pink, combining with the Swoosh to spell 'JA.'
The 'NY vs NY' colorway will honor Morant's New York City stop with a primarily black colorway to contrast the previous release. Unlike the other colorway, this one will be monochromatic with black aspects all throughout. The Nike Swoosh will be metallic yellow and orange, while the graffiti 'A' is done in orange and blue.
The final 'Light Show' colorway will serve as the shoe for the China stop, releasing exclusively in the country via Nike platforms. This edition features alternating white and grey ripples, accented by blue/pink on the Swoosh and orange/purple on the 'A.' All in all, the three colorways are all vibrant looks of the Ja 3 and it's exciting to see the thematic nuances behind the colorways.
The Nike Ja 3 is set to land on July 22, 2025. While one pair will be a Chinese exclusive, the other pairs will drop via Nike SNKRS app and select Nike platforms for a retail tag of $135. The Nike Ja 3 will see wider releases in the coming months following the conclusion of the 'Make Them Watch Tour.'

Wisconsin football class of 2026 running back commit elevated to four-star
Wisconsin's top class of 2026 running back commit, Amari Latimer, was elevated to a four-star prospect on Monday. Latimer, who committed to Luke Fickell's program back on June 28, was widely considered a three-star prospect throughout the recruiting process. On3/Rivals elected to boost the running back's profile, concurrently elevating him into the top 20 at his position. 247Sports, meanwhile, lists the Georgia native as the No. 30 running back and No. 61 recruit from his home state. The Sandy Creek High School product decided to join the Badgers' program over opportunities with the Michigan Wolverines, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns and Tennessee Volunteers. In total, Latimer received nearly 50 offers from some of the most prestigious programs throughout the nation. The rising senior will also reunite with his older brother Geimere Latimer, who transferred to UW after an impressive 2024-25 season at cornerback with Jacksonville State. As a junior at Sandy Creek High School, Latimer tallied 136 carries for 1,113 rushing yards and 15 scores on the ground. Through the air, the duel-back reeled in 27 receptions for 363 yards and four receiving touchdowns. In three years as a member of Sandy Creek's varsity squad, he's accountable for 2,513 rushing yards and 34 touchdowns off 317 carries, in addition to 44 catches for 514 yards and five touchdowns as a receiver. With his decision, Latimer became the 15th player to join Wisconsin's class of 2026 cohort. Wisconsin has yet to land another player since his commitment. While UW's 2026 recruiting outlook is incomplete, his continued development and enthusiasm to join Wisconsin's program emerge as one of the more promising storylines of the offseason. With the program boasting numerous legends at the position over the last 20 years, Latimer has major figures to look up to. His ceiling should be sky-high once he arrives in Madison.

Insider reveals 3 players the Braves are shopping ahead of trade deadline
The Atlanta Braves are having an abysmal season and will be sellers ahead of the July 31 Major League Baseball trade deadline. The Braves entered the season with hopes of making the playoffs, but that won't happen as Atlanta enters play on July 20 with a record of 43-54 record. Although the Braves are well under .500, it won't be a complete fire sale, but MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today reveals three players that Atlanta is shopping. 'Atlanta is expected to listen to trade offers for catcher second baseman Ozzie Albies, center fielder Michael Harris, and catcher Sean Murphy, but not until this winter,' Nightengale wrote. 'They are letting teams know that DH Marcell Ozuna, closer Raisel Iglesias, and reliever Pierce Johnson are all available. Ozuna, who has 10-and-5 rights, can veto any trade.'Ozuna is the biggest name available in trade talks as he would be a middle-of-the-order power bat for any playoff team. He's a pending free agent, so it could be a true rental for any team acquiring him. He's hitting .238 with 13 home runs and 42 RBIs this season. Iglesias, meanwhile, is a high-leverage reliever who's in the final year of his four-year, 58 million deal. The 35-year-old is 4-6 with a 5.12 ERA in 41 games this season, going 11-for-15 on saves. The final player Atlanta is looking to shop is Johnson. The reliever is in the final year of his two-year, $14.25 million deal, but does have a club option for $7 million in 2026. He's 1-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 38 games this season with the Braves. All three players will likely have interest from multiple playoff-bound teams ahead of the July 31 trade deadline. More MLB:
