Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a Canadian guard on the Oklahoma City Thunder, and primarily wore Kobe sneakers during his first two NBA seasons. But over the Covid-shortened 2019-2020 season, Gilgeous-Alexander made a splash by signing with Converse, joining Draymond Green and Kelly Oubre Jr. in the ranks of the upstart performance x streetware brand. He wore the All Star Pro BB in the Orlando bubble.

In college, Gilgeous-Alexander wore the stylish Kith x Nike LeBron 15 shoes during game action with the Kentucky Wildcats. He was drafted 11th overall in 2018.
