Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has inked a “multi-year” shoe extension deal with Converse Basketball, making him the face of the brand. In addition to this, he has been named as the Creative Director for Converse, giving him the opportunity to provide input and ideas for future products. A signature shoe designed by Gilgeous-Alexander is currently being worked on and is set to be released in 2025.
Gilgeous-Alexander initially signed with Nike when he was drafted in 2018 before making the move to Converse. The exclusiveness of the brand and the opportunity to express himself both on and off the court in various ways were factors that attracted him to Converse.
As Gilgeous-Alexander prepares for the 2024 NBA playoffs, where he will lead his team as their top seed against either New Orleans Pelicans or Sacramento Kings, fans are eager to see how he will perform on the court in his new role as a brand ambassador for Converse Basketball.
