Jalen Brunson took a break from torching defenders to torch the sneaker game instead. During the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks’ floor general debuted the Nike Kobe 6 Protro Statue of Liberty, a tribute to NYC’s most famous lady.

The shoe flexes a hyper turquoise upper, paying homage to Lady Liberty’s iconic hue. Metallic copper hits on the heel add that weathered-patina flair, while Zoom Air tech and a marbled outsole make it battle-ready for your next pickup game—or your next photo shoot.

Originally made as a player exclusive for Brunson, Nike heard the fans loud and clear.
