The Nike Ja 4 "NY vs. NY" Releases August 2026
Quick Summary
- Nike Ja 4 "NY vs. NY" drops August 15th, 2026 at Foot Locker for $140, celebrating New York's streetball tournament scene.
- Purple-to-teal gradient upper with Metallic Red reverse Swoosh and custom "NY" lace dubraes tie the design directly to the city event.
- White paint splatter on the outsole and tournament branding on the tongue reinforce the playground court aesthetic throughout the shoe.
Nike is revisiting the New York streetball scene for the Ja 4 with the "NY vs. NY" colorway, a pair built around the city's annual summer tournament. Official images show a design that ties directly into that event through its palette and branding details, continuing a thread that has run through Ja Morant's Nike signature line from the beginning.
A purple-to-teal gradient sweeps across the upper, giving the shoe a vivid, city-at-night feel that draws comparisons to the previously released "Jaws" edition. Metallic red lands on the reverse Swoosh and the midfoot support piece, adding a sharp contrast to the cooler base tones. Tournament branding appears on the left tongue, while Ja Morant's logo occupies the right tongue, and the arrangement flips on the insoles, with his logo on the left and tournament graphics on the right. Custom "NY" lace dubraes reinforce the event connection, and teal continues through the tongue to keep the color story consistent from collar to laces. Underfoot, white paint splatter spreads across the forefoot section of the outsole, borrowing a detail that reads as a nod to playground courts.
The Nike Ja 4 "NY vs. NY" is set to release on August 15th, 2026 exclusively at Foot Locker, with a possible launch at Nike as well, for a retail price of $140. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
