Martha Stewart Shouts Out OG Anunoby's Kicks and That's Not Even the Craziest Part of This Finals Run

Yo, you watching these NBA Finals?! Because if you're not, you're missing out on some wild stuff, even beyond the incredible basketball. New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby is out here doing things that are just pure legend, and it's not just his buzzer-beating heroics in Game 4 that got everyone talking. This dude, with his laid-back Brit vibe and super eclectic style, is making waves. We're talking scarves, skating, and yeah, Skechers. And get this, Martha freakin' Stewart gave a shout-out to his player-exclusive "Euro" colorway on social media. Like, come on!

From The Streets to The Spotlight: Anunoby's Style Reign

Anunoby officially jumped onto the Skechers basketball roster back in July 2025. Since then, he's been dropping multiple colorways of the Skechers SKX Nexus throughout the season. But really, it’s his whole vibe that sets him apart. He moves to his own beat, and New Yorkers are absolutely eating it up. Who would've thought that in the middle of a heated Finals, a design-guru like Martha Stewart would be giving props to a basketball player's sneakers? That's just the kind of unexpected twist that makes sports so damn good!

A Game-Winner, A New Legacy, and The "NYC Blue"

But let's be real, while the fashion stuff is cool, what really matters is what happened last night. Anunoby delivered a game-winning put-back that put the Knicks within one game of their first NBA Championship since 1973. Think about that history! That 1973 team had legends like Walt "Clyde" Frazier, who pretty much put PUMA on the map for basketball shoes in the U.S. Now, it feels like we're watching history repeat itself with Skechers. Anunoby's late-game heroics came in his second player-exclusive shoe of the series, the SKX Nexus "NYC Blue." It's an all-blue design with orange accents, a bold and unmistakable tribute to the Knicks and the city that's taken him in. Before that, for Game 3, he rocked the "Foreman" colorway, inspired by the city's blue-collar grind. This man is truly repping the city with every step. This whole run is a rapid ascension for Skechers. They only reentered the performance basketball market in October 2023, and now their shoes are on the feet of the first player ever to wear Skechers in the NBA Finals. Anunoby himself said it best, "In less than a year, Skechers has shown me what a true partnership looks like." He added that the SKX Reign "Foreman" is "built on hard work, defense, and dedication," and the SKX Nexus "NYC Blue" is "an homage to the Knicks and this incredible moment." Debuting them on this Finals stage? That's just surreal. Even if the Finals aren't over, Anunoby's play and Skechers' vision have etched their place in New York City basketball lore. What a moment to be a fan of the game!
