New York City is still on a championship high, and after the wait that the Knicks had, the celebration might last until next year’s playoffs start. To help aid in the endless parade hangover, Nike and Foot Locker are bringing back one of Jalen Brunson’s Nike Kobe 5 PEs for yet another NYC-exclusive locals-only drop.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Jalen Brunson NY vs NY PE first hit as a PE pair for Brunson and Nike’s NY vs. NY streetball tournament, and then made a retail debut during the NBA Finals when Foot Locker and Nike teamed up to drive to locations across the five boroughs loaded with pairs of the PE in the back of an armored truck. Now, the pair is getting another run, but in the same local-friendly fashion.
Featuring an aged copper teal color across the base of the upper like the Statue of Liberty, the paint splotch accents on the lace panel and heel bumper mix blue and orange like a Knicks jersey. Lastly, blue is added to the side panel Swoosh with a white border.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Jalen Brunson NY vs NY PE will be released August 4, 2026, through select Foot Locker locations in-store in the NYC metro area. To keep up with all the latest Jalen Brunson Nike news and PE drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
