Skechers has announced that New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby has joined Team Skechers.

In this role, the NBA champion and defensive standout will compete in Skechers Basketball footwear and be featured in the brand’s global marketing campaigns.

The announcement comes just ahead of Anunoby’s participation in a European basketball tour, where he’ll represent the brand alongside Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann. The tour kicks off July 26 in Belgrade, with additional stops planned in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Zadar.

“Skechers has helped me continue to play basketball at an elite level and I love these shoes,” said Anunoby. “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.”

Born in London and raised in Missouri, Ogugua “OG” Anunoby was drafted 23rd overall by the Toronto Raptors in 2017 and became the first British-born NBA Champion in 2019. Since being traded to the Knicks in 2024, he has continued to rise, averaging a career-high 18 points per game and notching a personal best 40-point performance against Denver.

He joins a growing roster of Skechers basketball athletes, including fellow Knicks teammate Julius Randle, Joel Embiid, Jabari Walker, Josh Green, and Anunoby’s former Raptors teammate Norman Powell. On the women’s side, the roster includes WNBA stars Rickea Jackson, Jackie Young, and Kiki Iriafen.

“As we grow and continue to innovate our Skechers Basketball shoes, more elite players want to join our team and bring the Comfort That Performs to their games,” said David Weinberg, chief operating officer of Skechers.

“Known for his viral dunks and defensive strength on the court, OG is a fantastic and inspiring addition to our global roster. We look forward to bringing OG and Terance Mann on tour to meet fans and the media at events with our European retail partners in the coming week.”
