This train is not stopping. Nike is celebrating the New York Knicks’ long-awaited NBA Finals win with a customizable Air Force 1 “Knicks” aka “NYC” on Nike By You, available now via the Nike website.

You best believe the New York Knicks winning the NBA Championship is a moment worthy of a summer-long celebration. Jalen Brunson and the 2025-26 squad have achieved immortality in the basketball capital of the world, and Knicks fans, in addition to launching impromptu block parties on every block in the city, have already broken the record for most championship gear sold for any sport.

Nike has been a key player throughout, from dropping the prized Air Force 1 “Knicks” as the team reached the Eastern Conference Finals to closing things out with a tear-worthy ad spot directed by Josh Safdie. This new Air Force 1 offers all the standard Nike By You customization options, though colors are limited mainly to Rush Blue and Safety Orange. The defining feature is the Nike NYC logo on the lateral side of the heel.

The Nike By You Air Force 1 Low “Knicks” aka “NYC” is available now via the Nike website for $140. Tap HERE to cop.
