NK-AJ4 Retro black/red 36~46B basketball

The NK-AJ4 Retro in the iconic Black/Red colorway is not merely a sneaker—it's a piece of basketball history. Originally released in 1989, this silhouette was designed by Tinker Hatfield and made famous by Michael NK-AJ's legendary 'The Shot' during the playoffs. The black nubuck upper, combined with vibrant red accents and the signature mesh panels, creates a bold look that stands out both on and off the court.
