The road to the NBA Finals is here. The New York Knicks take on the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference, while the Oklahoma City Thunder compete against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Speaking of the Eastern Conference, Jalen Brunson, star of the New York Knicks and Nike athlete, has been a player to watch. Throughout the 2024-25 season, he has laced up various high-heat kicks, including numerous player-exclusive Kobe's.
With his Knicks down 1-0, Brunson looks to tie the series up, and he is doing so in an all-new colorway of the Nike Kobe 6 Protro that pays homage to one of the city's most historic landmarks. Dubbed the Statue of Liberty edition, this Kobe is one of the best colorways of the season this year, and the good news is it's releasing!
