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.
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.
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.

Enter the draw immediately when it opens—late entries cannot be submitted.
Call local Foot Locker and Nike stores to confirm size availability.
Expect long lines, especially in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas.
Experts already predict a near-instant sellout. Kobe releases historically outperform most Nike drops, and the New York-themed colorway pushes demand even higher.
Resale platforms such as StockX, GOAT, and Flight Club are listing early pairs between $500 and $1,200. Analysts expect values to climb an additional 20–40% within the first week.
“This New York energy in a shoe represents Jalen’s connection to the city and the iconic landmark that inspired the design,” Nike Basketball said in its official announcement.
If you want this pair for retail, today’s draw is your best—and possibly only—chance.
