OG Anunoby capped off the biggest comeback in the history of the NBA Finals Wednesday night by tipping in the game-winning shot with 1.2 seconds remaining in game 4. On his feet for the historic moment was his second pair of player-exclusive Skechers sneakers.
Anunoby’s Skechers SKX Reign “NYC Blue” was appropriately clad in New York Knicks blue and orange. The former color dominates the majority of the territory, while orange is used for the the lining of the Skechers logo, as well as the laces and eyestays. Another pop of orange then comes via the personalized “OG” logo on the tongue.

“In less than a year, Skechers has shown me what a true partnership looks like,” Anunoby said in a press release. “The SKX Reign ‘Foreman’ is a shoe built on hard work, defense, and dedication, and the SKX Nexus ‘NYC Blue’ — an homage to the Knicks and this incredible moment — are both a reflection of that. Debuting them on the Finals stage is a surreal moment, and I’m just grateful for the continued love and support from the entire Skechers family.”
The SKX Reign is a mid-top featuring a dual-density Hyper Burst midsole, carbon-infused plate and a resilient Hyper Burst Pro sockliner. A mesh upper then hosts layers of TPU skin with a rubber wrap locking down the midfoot.
The Knicks overcame a 29-point deficit in the second half, and Anunoby finished with 33 points including 19 over the final two quarters.
No plans to release the Skechers SKX Reign “NYC Blue” have been announced so it will likely remain a player-exclusive.
