The Latest Ja 4 Heads to the Big Apple
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.
