\n\tOG Anunoby<\/a> and Skechers<\/a> are still basking in the glow of the New York Knicks<\/a> championship.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnunoby became the first NBA player to win a Finals title while wearing Skechers<\/a>. His sponsor was ready for the occasion, trotting out two player-exclusive colorways<\/a> to much fanfare before revealing that the forward will eventually get his own signature sneaker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe brand hosted a meet and greet for New York City children with Anunoby at its midtown showroom on Thursday evening. In a space decked out with shoes and photos of the player Former President Barack Obama referred to as \u201ca rock,\u201d Anunoby spoke with reporters about his partnership with the brand and his in-demand footwear.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnunoby and Skechers announced their partnership last summer, but he said the brand\u2019s shoes first caught his attention while he was stilling playing for the Toronto Raptors. He noticed them on the feet of Terrance Mann and Julius Randle, and when he became teammates with the latter player on the Knicks he began asking questions about his shoes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOn the court, I just liked the way they look,\u201d Anunoby said. \u201cI remember the first time I saw them, I was intrigued by the appearance \u2014 they look sturdy but light and sleek \u2014 and I like the colorways they\u2019re making. Once I got to know them, [I learned] it\u2019s a family environment with love and support, and I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first pair of sneakers Skechers made for Anunoby in the NBA Finals took inspiration from the New York City staple Timberland \u201cWheat\u201d boot. The Knicks turned the 6-Inch boot into an award for defensive player of the game this past season, giving a pair branded with with \u201cDPOG\u201d to the honoree after each game.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnown as one of the best and most versatile defenders in the NBA, Anunoby found the boots in possession quite frequently. And the Skechers SKX Reign style was presented to him as a surprise.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI thought they looked lovely,\u201d Anunoby said. \u201cI was excited to wear them. I warmed up in them, but I usually need a little bit more time to wear them [in game.] I\u2019m excited to wear them next year, and I\u2019ll work out in them this summer, so hopefully they\u2019ll make some more pairs.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnunoby\u2019s second PE sneakers did appear on his feet in game \u2014 and for his most iconic act of the NBA Finals. For his game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining in game 4, he wore a different version of the SKX Reign that he\u2019d worked with Skechers on creating \u2014\u00a0complete with Knicks colors and his \u201cOG\u201d logo. A pre-order has since been announced, and Skechers said tens of thousands of people have signed up to be notified when it begins.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe very pair from the game is still in Anunoby\u2019s locker. and he said he won\u2019t wear them again. Instead, he will probably put them on display somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OG Anunoby and Skechers are still basking in the glow of the New York Knicks championship.
