The highly anticipated Kobe 6 Jalen Brunson “Statue of Liberty” officially drops today, December 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. Sneaker fans across the country are gearing up for one of the biggest basketball shoe releases of the year, featuring a colorway inspired by one of New York’s most iconic landmarks.

With a retail price of $200 and early resale predictions already soaring above $500, the demand for this drop is massive. Here’s everything buyers need to know before the exclusive release hits Nike SNKRS and select retailers.

Kobe 6 Jalen Brunson Release Details for December 11

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Statue of Liberty” launches today via a SNKRS draw, giving users a narrow 10-minute window to enter once the drop opens at 10:00 AM EST. Nike will notify winners by 6:00 PM EST with shipping or pickup instructions.

For those hoping to buy in person, limited pairs are available at Foot Locker, Nike retail stores, and select basketball boutiques. Quantities are extremely limited, and lines are expected to form early at major locations.

Industry trackers confirm that resale prices are already climbing toward $600–$1,200, depending on size and early availability.

Hyper Turquoise Colorway Honors the Statue of Liberty

The shoe’s defining feature is its Hyper Turquoise upper, mirroring the oxidized copper finish of the Statue of Liberty. Metallic Copper accents detail the Swoosh, heel counter, and Kobe logos, giving the sneaker a premium patina effect.

The classic Kobe 6 snakeskin-inspired texture remains intact, blending performance-ready design with collector-level visual appeal. For fans of Jalen Brunson, this shoe signifies the point guard’s deep connection to New York basketball culture.

Nike preserved the Protro performance upgrades, ensuring that the shoe remains fully playable on the court despite its collectible status. With Zoom Air cushioning and elevated ankle lockdown, this release appeals to athletes and collectors alike.
