Skechers Creates Ring Night SKX Nexus PE for OG Anunoby

Skechers has prepared a commemorative basketball sneaker for New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby to wear during the team's championship ring ceremony ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. The player-exclusive SKX Nexus features white and gold details honoring the Knicks' championship victory, but the company will not release the special edition for retail sale. According to Sole Retriever, which published its report on October 20, 2026, the sneaker was created specifically for Anunoby's celebration of his second NBA championship ring.

Its design distinguishes it from the blue-and-orange SKX Nexus player-exclusive colorway he is expected to wear during game action. The commemorative edition features a white mesh upper with gold accents across several components, including the toe cap, Skechers S logo, sockliner, eyelets and heel counter. Anunoby's personal logo also receives a gold finish, while his signature appears on the heel tab.

The championship theme continues inside the shoe, where a custom graphic depicting a championship ring appears on the insole. A gold foam midsole and gum rubber outsole complete the design, according to Sole Retriever.

The special edition is intended for Anunoby's ring ceremony appearance rather than a commercial launch. Sole Retriever confirmed that the white-and-gold SKX Nexus will not be available through a general retail release. The decision means sneaker enthusiasts will not be able to purchase this particular commemorative colorway through regular retail channels. The pair remains a player-exclusive design created to mark Anunoby's championship achievement with the Knicks.

The report also distinguishes the commemorative sneaker from the blue-and-orange SKX Nexus colorway associated with Anunoby's on-court appearance during Game 4, when his tip-in became a defining moment. According to Sole Retriever, that separate colorway is available through Extra Butter. The ring ceremony forms part of the Knicks' celebrations before the 2026-27 NBA season begins. Players, coaches and other team personnel are expected to take part in the event honoring the team's championship victory and the journey to securing the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
