The collaboration between Jalen Brunson and Nike Basketball brings us one of the most exciting Kobe releases of the year: the Nike Kobe 6 Protro ‘Statue of Liberty’. Brunson is known as the Knicks' playmaker and the league's unofficial ‘Kobe Guy’. Now he's getting his first PE release – inspired by one of New York's most famous landmarks.

The sneaker features a striking ‘Hyper Turquoise’ colourway reminiscent of the patina on the Statue of Liberty. Metallic copper accents make the Swoosh, heel clip and branding eye-catching. The midsole remains clean, while a marbled outsole adds extra vibe. The typical performance elements of the Kobe 6, such as Zoom Air cushioning and the textured upper, remain unchanged.

Brunson has repeatedly emphasised in the past that he would rather stock up on an endless supply of Kobes than get his own signature model. And that's evident: instead of his own brand, he remains loyal to the Protro models and uses the NBA playoffs stage to underline his passion for Kobes.

The release is scheduled for the next few days. The retail price is €190.

The sneaker is available via Nike SNKRS and at selected Nike Basketball retailers. It will probably be available in limited quantities. Fans of Kobes and Knicks should not miss this drop. As always, updates are available at Grailify.
