Nike Kobe 6 Protro Jalen Brunson Statue of Liberty

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Jalen Brunson Statue of Liberty (2025) takes one of the most revered Kobe silhouettes and infuses it with unmistakable New York pride. Inspired by the iconic Statue of Liberty, the upper is coated in hyper turquoise, a nod to the statue’s patinated copper, while metallic copper accents on the Swoosh, Kobe sheath logos, and heel clip reference the famed landmark’s original material. This creative concept first appeared on-foot during the NBA playoffs and quickly became one of the most talked-about colorways of the season.

What began as a player exclusive for New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson evolved into a full retail release for Holiday 2025. Fans and sneakerheads gravitated toward the blend of subtle storytelling and dynamic color that embodies both the city’s energy and Brunson’s own rise. Beyond its inspiration, the mix of vibrant turquoise and warm metallic copper makes it a striking year-end release.
