The Jordan Triangle Suits Up For “NY vs. NY”

The mecca of basketball is buzzing more than at any other point in the 21st century, the New York Knicks having taken home their first NBA Championship in 53 years and contributing to one of the most joyful summers the city has ever seen. But as New Yorkers know, the people who helped give the city that nickname aren’t the ones courtside at Madison Square Garden. You’ll find them at Dyckman, Rucker Park, and Gersh, all stops on Nike Basketball’s eighth annual “NY vs. NY” streetball tournament.

As is tradition, Nike Inc. is once again coming correct with tournament-tied footwear. The main on-court counterpart to the Air Force 1 “NY vs. NY” thus far is a pastel take on the Jordan Triangle, shown here via official images. The tongue and top portion of the midsole come in Sail, the former featuring Pink Beam “NY vs. NY” branding. The rest of the upper takes on a compelling multicolor pattern, somewhat akin to washed-away chalk on concrete. Black hits on the interior, spine, and outsole round out the major elements.

The Jordan Triangle “NY vs. NY” doesn’t have a firm release date yet, but we expect a drop before the tournament wraps in mid-August. Men’s sizes will be available for $155. See official images below and keep our Jordan Release Dates page handy for updates.
