NK-AJ4 Retro light grey/white and black/white EU 36-46 basketball

The NK-AJ4 Retro in light grey, white, and black is a masterclass in timeless basketball heritage meeting everyday streetwear versatility. Originally designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1989, the AJ4 remains a cornerstone of sneaker culture, and this colorway—often dubbed the 'Cool Grey' aesthetic—blends muted tones with bold contrast for a look that transitions effortlessly from court to concrete.

Design & Materials

Underfoot, a cushioned midsole absorbs impact and returns a little bounce, which is exactly what you want from a daily basketball sneaker.

The heel counter on the NK-AJ4 Retro light grey/white and black/white is firm without being rigid, locking the rearfoot in place during quicker movements.

The padded collar and tongue of the NK-AJ4 Retro light grey/white and black/white cushion the ankle without adding bulk around the Achilles.
