Skechers is continuing its aggressive expansion into performance basketball by honoring New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby with a special retail release.  That’s right, the custom SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE, which was originally designed as a custom Player Exclusive (PE) colorway for the defensive star to wear during the NBA postseason, is officially stepping off the professional court and heading straight to public retail shelves. Adding to the accomplishment, Anunoby is now the first athlete to win an NBA championship wearing the footwear brand.

The Design Features & Aesthetics

The “NYC Blue” edition is fully coated in the iconic team colors of the New York Knicks, pairing a rich, vibrant blue base with sharp orange accents across the branding elements and structural outsoles. Boasting a low-top silhouette built for high-velocity cuts and court stability, the shoe features a breathable mesh upper coupled with a highly responsive cushioning system. Stamped onto the interior insoles is Anunoby’s official “OG” logo, ensuring the design preserves its authentic player-exclusive identity.

Instead of a traditional immediate retail drop, Skechers has opened up an exclusive pre-order window for the SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE via their official online storefront. While official retail pricing has not been publicly stated on the pre-order registry, sneaker collectors looking to lock down a pair can secure their allocation ahead of the upcoming basketball season before it’s completely sold out. Or as the Skechers website says, “A limited run of the “NYC Blue” Player Edition that OG Anunoby wore in that legendary game-winning tip-in will be available soon. Sign up today and get an alert when pre-orders open.”

We will keep you updated as more information comes in.
