New York City is still on a championship high, and after the wait that the Knicks had, the celebration might last until next year’s playoffs start. To help aid in the endless parade hangover, Nike and Foot Locker are bringing back one of Jalen Brunson’s Nike Kobe 5 PEs for yet another NYC-exclusive locals-only drop.
Brunson’s NY vs. NY PE is Back in the Big Apple
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Jalen Brunson NY vs NY PE first hit as a PE pair for Brunson and Nike’s NY vs. NY streetball tournament, and then made a retail debut during the NBA Finals when Foot Locker and Nike teamed up to drive to locations across the five boroughs loaded with pairs of the PE in the back of an armored truck. Now, the pair is getting another run, but in the same local-friendly fashion.
