Nike is bringing back the Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 in a clean all-black colorway, giving the early-2000s basketball silhouette a minimal, head-to-toe monochromatic treatment that works equally well on the court and off it.
Nike has been one of the dominant forces in athletic footwear since the 1970s, building a catalog that spans running, basketball, and lifestyle categories. The brand built much of its basketball reputation through the 1990s and into the 2000s, developing performance technologies that eventually crossed over into everyday wear. The Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 is a product of that era, a low-profile basketball shoe that leaned into a streamlined, sock-like fit philosophy the Huarache line became known for. It debuted during the early 2000s basketball era and carried Nike Zoom Air cushioning underfoot, a responsive, low-profile technology that made it a practical performer at the time and a recognizable detail on retro releases today. The silhouette has since built a steady following as a court-to-street option, appreciated for its clean lines and relatively understated profile compared to bulkier basketball shoes of the same period.
This returning colorway keeps the build consistent from top to bottom. The upper is black leather, with black suede overlays adding texture across the construction. A black perforated tongue continues the theme, and a black leather ankle strap carries embossed “Huarache 2K” branding, one of the signature details that identifies the OT variant of this model. A black Swoosh sits on the lateral side, and black TPU material wraps the heel for structure. The midsole and outsole are both finished in black rubber, completing the all-black look without any contrasting hits. Nike Zoom Air cushioning sits underfoot, the same technology that defined the original release and remains a key selling point for anyone picking these up for actual wear.
Nike’s Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 in the “Black” colorway retails for $200 and carries style code IV0329-001. Nike is handling shipping domestically only for this release. If this one has you looking at more from the Huarache line or Nike’s wider basketball retro catalog, there is plenty more worth tracking down.
