Matt Varga nicks fans, the long national nightmare is over. After beginning the year winless, the defending champions have clawed their way back to .500, sure to quiet the always-vocal NY faithful for… a few hours, probably. But a win is a win is a win, even over what’s been a Bulls team that might sadly be in the doldrums already. If nothing else, it allows dissection of Jalen Brunson’s latest colorway of the Nike Kobe 6 to be a straightforward affair rather than one we’ve got to weed through a post-loss miasma to get to.
The captain’s shot is finally beginning to fall once again, contributing 26 first-half points that allowed the Knicks to storm into the half and never really look back after that moment. On foot, the flames only continued. The Nike Kobe 6 debuted last night feels almost like a merger between his “Super Saiyan God” Kobe 3 and arguably his most iconic shoe, the “Statue Of Liberty” Nike Kobe 6. Its biggest selling point is the graffiti / cel-shaded Swoosh on the sides, a cartoony yet edgy addition onto what’s a straightforwardly successful rendition otherwise.
The Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 6 shown here, like all of his court-worn heat, is considered entirely exclusive to him at the moment. However, as seen with his Kobe 3 “Arancia,” Kobe 6 “Statue of Liberty,” or Kobe 5 “What the Rick,” it’s a live candidate for release in later seasons.
