Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks closed out their first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks Friday night, and the star guard did so while debuting a sneaker timed perfectly for the lead-up to Star Wars Day . The Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE “Knightfall Vader” looks to the Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the dark side. A blue-to-red gradient Swoosh invokes the lightsabers of Jedi and Sith, as a does a translucent outsole that’s blue at the forefoot and red at the heel. A gradient likewise defines the upper as its shifts from grey to black, while red is used for the remaining branding and the midsole comes in solid black. Brunson wore the sneaker days prior to May 4, which has been celebrated as Star Wars Day since 1977 because of the pun, “May the fourth be with you.” His choice to focus on Anakin’s journey shouldn’t come as a surprise for anyone who remembers a pair of off-season tweets from four years ago, as he said: What is the best Star Wars movie ever?…
