Nike Ja 4 "Radar" Turns Up the Thermal Heat Map for Holiday 2026

Nike Ja 4 Radar pair on purple campaign backdrop, thermal heat-map upper

Ja Morant's heat signature just got a shoe. The Nike Ja 4 "Radar" wraps the diamond-textured upper in a thermal heat-map print — deep blues that bloom into laser orange and total orange "predator vision" waves — then locks it with a mustard Swoosh and black tongue/outsole so the graphic can do all the talking.

Per Sole Retriever, the pair is style code JA9745-400 in Obsidian/Total Orange-Laser Orange-Black-Racer Blue-Cobalt Bliss, due Holiday 2026 at Nike and select retailers. Men's retail is $145 (GS $115). No exact day yet — when Nike pins the calendar, we'll update.

Our take: most signature colorways settle for a clean team palette and call it a day. Radar looks like Ja's first step rendered in infrared. If your rotation already has a quiet pair, this is the one that yells from the locker.
