Jalen Brunson just debuted the "Statue of Liberty" Kobe 6s for Game 2, and it's currently got social media in a frenzy.

The shoes, which feature a pretty teal design on the upper, are pop of color with their bold design and shimmery reddish brown accents. Also boasting matching teal laces, the silhouette includes the traditional Mamba logo on the tongue, and thick, durable rubber base equipped for performance. While the official details haven't been released yet, Kobe 6s typically come with a Zoom Air Turbo unit in the front that provides comfort while enhancing speed.

Kobe 6s are also equipped with a carbon fiber shank plate for mid-foot support and torsional rigidity, and the brand's Flywire lacing system for a secure and adjustable fit. Functional features aside, Kobe 6s are a very attractive shoe that works well with a range of outfits, and Brunson's "Statue of Liberty" made for a dynamic contrast against his white Knicks uniform.

In other Kobe brand news, Nike is honoring Bryant with a Los Angeles Dodgers-themed collection set to drop on May 30. The capsule is lead by the Nike Kobe 6 "Dodgers," which feature a royal blue and white upper characterized by white laces. Present on the sides are red #8s on the ankles, which pay homage to Bryant's number worn throughout the first half of his career.

Aside from the sneaker and jersey, there's also a range of accessories in this capsule, including football gloves and a compression shooting sleeve. And if that isn't enough, a limited-edition Kobe Dodgers graphic t-shirt is included too. Decked out in a royal blue color pattern, the tee features the #24, and a "Thank You" message on the right side.
