New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson is bringing a fresh twist to the iconic Nike Kobe 6 silhouette with the upcoming “Statue of Liberty” colorway, slated for a general release this holiday season.
Brunson, a longtime devotee of Kobe Bryant’s signature line, has consistently showcased exclusive player editions (PEs) throughout his NBA career. His deep connection to the Kobe brand dates back to his youth, influenced by his family’s ties to Bryant and a memorable encounter in 2014 when Kobe gifted him a pair of sneakers on Christmas Day.

The “Statue of Liberty” edition is anticipated to feature design elements inspired by the iconic New York landmark, reflecting Brunson’s current role as a leading figure for the Knicks.

This release marks a significant moment, as it transitions from Brunson’s exclusive PEs to a widely available model, allowing fans and sneaker enthusiasts to own a piece of his on-court legacy. Given the enduring popularity of the Nike Kobe 6 among NBA players and fans alike, the “Statue of Liberty” colorway is expected to be a sought-after addition to the Kobe lineage.
