It has been less than six months since Jayson Tatum's second signature sneaker hit shelves. But much has happened for Tatum. He led the Boston Celtics to an NBA Championship, helped Team USA win a gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics, and graced the cover of NBA 2K25.

Building on the Celtics forward's success, Jordan Brand is officially launching Tatum's third signature basketball shoe. The Jordan Tatum 3 has all the features fit for a champion while delivering unmatched style and continuing the Tatum series' reign as the lightest in the Jordan Brand basketball collection.

Tatum said, "I don't take having a signature shoe for granted. I'm grateful to be in a position where I can co-create with Jordan Brand and have fans connect with me through my shoe. My favorite part of the 3s is the way they take on color, so my hope is that we inspire and energize a lot of people through the colorway storytelling."

Tech Specs

The Jordan Tatum 3 is the result of its namesake's extensive collaboration with Jordan Brand's footwear designers, who met his needs with a shoe that feels broken in right out of the box and adapts to the foot without restrictions or pressure.

A new upper incorporates insights from athletes' on-court moves in the Nike Sport Research Lab, layering materials where they matter most for power and comfort, creating a supportive, conforming fit without feeling bulky or stiff.

Cushlon 3.0 foam and a Zoom Air insert work alongside the upper's firm frame to promote lateral movements that feel smooth and secure, and a herringbone traction pattern propels a superior first step and quick cut while helping hoopers stop on a dime.

The smoothness of Jayson's play and his commitment to his family are built into the Tatum 3, reflected in fluid lines that represent his uninterrupted approach to the game and the foundation of his family tree.

Like the Jordan Tatum 2, the name of Jayson's son, Deuce, is featured on the inside of the tongue, opposite his signature JT logo, and his number 0 is included on the heel along with unique sayings on the heel tabs, specific to each colorway.

His popular "Find A Way" quote from his 2023 "humbly" interview is also included on the medial side of the shoe. The launch colorway, Welcome to the Garden, showcases growth in all areas of Tatum's life — his family, his game, and his pursuit of greatness — in a floral pattern that nods to his home and personal garden, where he's surrounded by family, friends and loved ones.
