When the New York Knicks are good, there’s more excitement around the NBA. After a expectedly slow start, Jalen, KAT, and co. have powered the Knicks to one of the best records in the league, and despite the strong outings by Boston and Cleveland, NYC is looking to rep the East in June 2025.

Unofficially, Nike has been pushing some solid colorways of its icons in ways befitting a Penn Station outfit on game night. This newly dropped Air Force 1 should be a mainstay at the Garden moving forward as it captures the iconic 1982 silhouette in a Safety Orange patent leather overlay. Sport Orange in leather sits at the underlay, while a crisp white adds the right complements in all the right places.

The thick shoe-laces, which replace the classic flat ones, could very well be the nets used on regulation NBA rims, leading us to believe that these have a underlying basketball theme beyond its game roots.

Enough talk: Nike has these available right now for $120 HERE. Prefer blue shades instead? The same Air Force 1 style just dropped in University Blue as well.
