NBA Star Jalen Brunson’s On-Court Shoe Style for the 2023-24 Season
NBA star Jalen Brunson had a stellar 2023-24 season, and is continuing to lead the New York Knicks throughout the playoffs. His effort has quickly earned the point guard all-time great status among diehard New York Knicks fans.
When Brunson hits the court, whether at home at Madison Square Garden in New York City or on the road, he has coveted Nike basketball sneakers laced up.
During the 2023-24 regular season, Brunson opts for Nike Kobe looks, the signature shoe franchise of NBA icon Kobe Bryant, which he continues to wear into the playoffs. He has mostly worn the Nike Kobe 6 Protro, including the popular “Grinch” and “Revserse Grinch” colorways, as well as several player editions (PEs) of the shoe, such as the orange and white “WNBA” look.
He has, however, also worn different colorways of the Kobe 4 Protro (including the “Gold Medal” style) and the Kobe 5 Protro (such as the “Big Stage”).
Although Brunson has favored Nike Kobes, he has also worn the Nike Sabrina 1, the first signature shoe for WNBA baller Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty.
Brunson and the Knicks are currently facing the Indiana Pacers in the conference semifinals round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The Knicks are up 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. Brunson and the Knicks will face the Pacers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for Game 3 on May 10.
