Jalen Brunson wore the Nike Kobe 6 in the Statue of Liberty colorway during the Knicks’ 2026 NBA Finals victory over the San Antonio Spurs. New York clinched the championship in Game 5 with a 94-90 win, taking the series 4-1. The title marks the franchise’s first championship since 1973 and their third overall in team history.
The Nike Kobe 6 remains one of the most celebrated entries in Kobe Bryant’s signature line with Nike. Originally released during the 2010-11 season, the Kobe 6 introduced a lower-cut design compared to earlier models while maintaining responsive cushioning technology and a locked-in fit. The silhouette became iconic both on court and as a collector’s piece, with various colorway releases throughout the years.
The Statue of Liberty edition draws inspiration from New York City itself, tying the shoe directly to the Knicks and their historic market. Special player editions and performance colorways have long been part of NBA culture, with athletes choosing shoes that carry personal or cultural significance during playoff runs.
Brunson, who arrived in New York in the 2023 offseason, has been central to the Knicks’ resurgence. His performance in the Finals helped deliver the championship the franchise has pursued for over half a century.
