NK NK-AJ1 Retro Mid red white black EU 36-46 basketball

The NK NK-AJ1 Retro Mid is a timeless icon that bridges the gap between basketball heritage and streetwear culture. This mid-top silhouette features the classic red, white, and black colorway, paying homage to the original Chicago Bulls era while offering a versatile look for everyday wear. Crafted with premium leather and synthetic overlays, the shoe provides durability and a comfortable fit. The Air-Sole unit in the heel delivers responsive cushioning, making it suitable for both casual strolls and light on-court action.
