OG Anunoby’s Skechers PE Becomes Finals History
The game-winner gave this PE meaning.ByAaron ShamimJun 11, 2026

OG Anunoby gave his latest Skechers player exclusive an unforgettable place in NBA history. Wearing the Skechers SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE, Anunoby helped lead the New York Knicks to a stunning 107-106 Game 4 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden. The win completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, with New York overcoming a 29-point deficit to even the series.
The defining moment came with just 1.2 seconds remaining. After inbounding the ball to teammate Jalen Brunson, Anunoby crashed the glass following Brunson's missed three-pointer and converted the game-winning putback. In an instant, the 'NYC Blue' PE became more than just another player-exclusive sneaker—it became part of a historic Finals moment.

The colorway embraces New York's iconic team colors through a bold royal blue upper accented by vibrant orange details. Blue covers the engineered mesh upper, midsole, and outsole, creating a monochromatic foundation that allows the contrasting accents to stand out. Orange hits appear throughout the laces, lace loops, tongue branding, and heel logo, delivering a distinctly Knicks-inspired aesthetic.
Personal touches further separate the pair from standard Skechers basketball releases. A two-tone Skechers "S" logo appears on the lateral heel, while SKX Nexus branding runs along the side panel. Anunoby's personal "OG" logo is featured on the tongue tag, firmly establishing the sneaker as one of his exclusive on-court creations.

The 'NYC Blue' PE is just the latest notable Skechers design worn by Anunoby during the Finals. Earlier in the series, he debuted a Timberland-inspired colorway that also generated attention among sneaker fans. Together, the releases continue helping Skechers build visibility within the performance basketball category through memorable player-exclusive moments.
For now, the SKX Nexus 'NYC Blue' remains exclusive to Anunoby. No retail release has been announced, and Skechers has not indicated whether the pair will become available to the public. Regardless of what happens next, the sneaker has already secured its place in basketball history as the pair Anunoby wore during one of the most dramatic comebacks the NBA Finals has ever seen.
