This pair isn’t just for young hoopers. As Nike continues to flood its EYBL and NY vs. NY youth tournament circuits with PE pairs, the latest colorway from NYC’s most competitive runs will get a wide release beyond the five boroughs.
The Nike Ja 4 NY vs. NY is the latest in an early run of debut Nike Ja 4 pairs, this time taking on a multi-color gradient mix that shifts seamlessly from purple at the toe to teal at the heel. Beyond the shifting colors, the pair adds tiny purple dots to all of the textured diamonds on the diamond-plated upper panel.
The gradient mix of purple and teal is the immediate eye-catcher on the new pair, but beyond the cotton candy upper, the JA monogram stabilization structure on the side panel pops in metallic red. Black on the sockliner and outsole balances out the multi-color mix, and a two-tone black and purple set of laces finishes it off.
The Nike Ja 4 NY vs. NY will be released August 15, 2026, through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $140. For all the latest Nike Basketball news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
