Just like all other Nike “NY vs NY” releases, this special iteration of the Nike Ja 1 looks to embody New York City’s vibrant street basketball vibe, in honor of its renowned summer tournament. The Nike Ja 1 NY vs NY looks to celebrate athleticism while also paying tribute to the local talent you will find in your local NYC outdoor courts. Done in a Court Blue, Hyper Pink, Aquarius Blue, Black, and Bright Mandarin color scheme, the sneaker arrives in a predominantly Blue mesh and leather upper offset by the Pink TPU Swoosh logos on the side panels. Defining details include the “NY vs NY” logo on the lateral heel and a trophy graphic on the insole. The sneaker also features mismatched tongue labels, and “12” accents on the heels. A Light Blue midsole and gradient semi-translucent rubber outsole round out the main features of the release.
