Kickflips and tailslides. Dimes and dunks. Nike SB and Jordan. Some things just go better together. The Nike SB x AJ4 celebrates one of the greatest duos to play the sneaker game—the late Sandy Boedecker (it isn't called Nike SB for nothing) and the legendary designer Tinker Hatfield. Working together, the pair created the buzzer-beating icon that not only propelled MJ along on his journey, but transcended basketball to alter pop culture and street culture forever. Joining forces once more, Nike SB and Jordan tweaked the AJ4 design so you can skate all day and land big tricks. First, we brought back the '89 shape around the toe box for improved fit and an impeccable flick. Then we focused on the deconstructed upper, adding flexible plastic detailing to keep 'em supple for long sessions. Nike Air in the heel lets you handle epic stair counts, and because grip matters, zonal gum rubber on the outsole adds traction where you need it most. They look good, too. Straight from the vault, heritage colour-blocking nods to classic AJ4 style while Pine Green accents add the flavour du jour. Step on it—it's gonna be a wild ride.
