Matt Varga It’s no secret that the Nike SB Dunk Low, once the face of the pandemic-era sneaker craze, has slid since that halcyon second prime. Much the same way that those tumbling resale prices are a boon for those aiming to actually skate those shoes, removing Nike SB from the spotlight as a whole and allowing it to focus on earnest performance has been a benefit in and of itself.
Long-time Swoosh signees like Stefan Janoski with his eponymous canvas kicks and Paul Rodriguez with his resurgent first silhouette now stand proud next to an exceptional roster of “next generation” talent like Leo Baker, Ishod Wair, and Nyjah Huston. Recently introducing his fourth signature model, Huston now holds the longest-standing series of that group. Though you can trace similar shapes and silhouettes throughout his catalog, each step has been genuinely transformative of the one that came before it, unchanged as the Nike SB Nyjah 4 continues its introduction.
Synthetics have been an omnipresent feature of the line, allowing for hardy containment without too much bulk being added to the shoe. For its most significant development, the Nyjah Huston 4 tacks that on with an integrated heel clip. Redesigned traction underfoot and an Air Zoom unit keep pushing the model toward the future, well demonstrated visually by a solid “College Grey” colorway with flares of “Bright Crimson” at the rear.
Expect the Nike SB Nyjah 4 “College Grey” to hit Nike.com in the coming weeks, retailing for $115. Catch official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates hub close for updates on this pair.
