Nyjah Huston is about as big as a superstar skater gets these days. Sure, he doesn’t have an MTV reality show like Ryan Sheckler or Rob Dyrdek did at the height of their fame, but with enough trophies to fill his Architectural Digest-ready mansion, Huston is one of few skaters who lives like a true pro athlete. That athlete mentality extends to his footwear, with Huston on his fourth technologically advanced Nike pro model.
Taking notes from Huston’s infamous party-heavy lifestyle, the latest colorway of the Nyjah 4 gets blacked out. Covering the reinforced mesh and HART rubber upper in black, the only interruption in the black hole colorway comes from a white Swoosh on the side and a pair of white laces. Keeping the rest of the colorway consistent, the Zoom Air-packed midsole and TPU heel counter are both black.
Nike SB Nyjah 4 Black
Nyjah has always used his signature Nike line to push as much tech as possible into a skate shoe, using futuristic HART rubber on the toe to withstand as much griptape abrasion as possible. Apart from one purple colorway that dropped in July, the Nyjah 4 has seen a series of subdued colorways in black and grey, perfect for skaters who prefer a subtle look on foot.
The Nike SB Nyjah 4 Black will be released Holiday 2025 through Nike and select Nike SB retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $115. To keep up with every new Nike SB drop, make sure to download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
