It’s time for some jogging!
Fans have learned quickly that OG Anunoby is a man like no other.
On the court, OG possesses a unique ability to guard all five positions at an elite level, while being a reliable shooter, even if it comes with some cold stretches. There are maybe five guys in the league who can do what he does on both sides of the ball. Off the court, OG is just as unique, balancing what seems to be a quiet and calm introvertedness with a distinct style of humor, and one of the more relaxed and low-maintenance fashion senses in the league. His tendency to walk paths that are often unpaved or, at the very least, not often walked on continued last week when he joined the up-and-coming, but still very unorthodox, Skechers basketball roster.

The footwear brand announced Anunoby’s multi-year footwear and apparel deal last week, saying, “Confirming the fan speculation surrounding his headline-grabbing slam dunk in SKX REIGN™ shoes during the 2025 NBA playoffs in May, Skechers officially announces that New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby has joined Team Skechers. In addition to competing in Skechers Basketball footwear, the NBA Champion and defensive powerhouse will appear in the brand’s global marketing campaigns.”
“Skechers has helped me continue to play basketball at an elite level, and I love these shoes,” Anunoby said. “I play quick and low to the court. I jump and move a lot. Skechers has the shoe to keep me comfortable, keep me protected, and keep me playing my best every day.”
Anunoby, who has worn Nike his entire career up until this point, joins Knicks nemesis Joel Embiid, as well as Terance Mann, Josh Green, and former Knicks forward Julius Randle as part of Skechers’ NBA roster.
