OG Anunoby’s latest Skechers PE now has an impressive Finals story behind it.
While wearing the Skechers SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE during New York’s 107-106 Game 4 victory over San Antonio at Madison Square Garden, Anunoby helped the Knicks erase a 29-point deficit in the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. The Knicks-inspired player-exclusives features a bold royal blue upper accented with orange trim.
Anunoby delivered the final play with 1.2 seconds left. After inbounding the ball to Jalen Brunson, he crashed the glass on Brunson’s missed three and put back the game-winner. That sequence instantly gave the “NYC Blue” PE more weight than a standard on-court exclusive.
The Skechers SKX Nexus 01 PE is decked out in a complete blue scheme across its mesh upper, midsole, and outsole. Orange accents are placed on the laces, lace loops, tongue branding and heel logo. A two-tone Skechers “S” is embroidered onto the lateral heel while SKX Nexus 01 branding is printed along the side panel. With Anunoby’s OG logo on the tongue tag, these sneakers are undeniably tied to his player exclusives.
This isn’t the only unique Skechers pair Anunoby has sported throughout the series. He wore a Timberland-inspired PE earlier in the Finals as well, helping Skechers get some extra shine as the brand continues carving out its space in basketball via player-exclusive moments.
For now it looks like the OG Anunoby x Skechers SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE will remain Anunoby’s pair only. No release date or retail drop has been confirmed. Unless Skechers says something else, we will remember this pair as the blue PE Anunoby wore while rescuing New York’s season.
