Anunoby’s game-changing tip-in showcased his custom SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” sneakers, a model not currently available to the public. Joining the brand’s roster less than a year ago, the Knicks forward provided Skechers with an organic visibility boost that money often cannot buy. GlobalData’s Neil Saunders noted that such moments cast a powerful halo over a brand, instantly elevating its profile within the competitive basketball footwear market.
Skechers currently commands less than 6% of the global sports footwear sector, yet the company is aggressively expanding its footprint. This momentum arrives as Nike faces significant headwinds, with its stock price dropping 45% over the past year. By signing a multi-year partnership with the WNBA last month and capitalizing on viral on-court moments, the company is positioning itself as a legitimate challenger in a space long dominated by legacy athletic giants.
