Toronto is getting a chance to snag a piece of NBA Finals history.
For decades now, the biggest moments in basketball have been synonymous with some important pieces of footwear. As signature shoes rose in popularity, it was only a matter of time before fans began recounting epic moments through the shoes that laced the biggest stars on the court. This past June, Skechers and OG Anunoby gave us one of the most memorable moments in NBA Finals history.
As the Knicks pushed for what would eventually be their massive 29-point comeback win in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, Anunoby took to the court in the exclusive ‘NYC Blue’ colorway of his SKX Nexus signature sneaker. With 1.2 seconds left on the clock, Anunoby leaped over the defense and scored the tip-in that would seal a monumental Game 4 win for the Knicks. And he did it all while wearing the sneaker inspired by the city of New York.
Originally a player exclusive, the “NYC Blue” colorway would go on to sell out in scheduled Skechers releases. How could it not? After all, it was part of one of the most significant moments in recent basketball history.
Now, the city of Toronto, the same city that watched Anunoby blossom into the superstar he is today, is getting an exclusive launch of the coveted sneaker.
The same sneaker that marked a historic moment for Skechers, as it represented the brand’s first-ever championship win, will be available to fans on November 16th via Foot Locker in the Toronto Eaton Center.
Keep an eye on our Instagram page for exclusive coverage surrounding the launch later this month.
