Earlier this month, news surfaced about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City Thunder guard, nearing the end of his contract with Converse. Rather than waiting for him to become a sneaker free agent, both sides acted quickly.
Gilgeous-Alexander and Converse have agreed on a multi-year contract extension. As per the new deal, he becomes the Creative Director for Converse Basketball. Additionally, his first signature shoe is set to debut in 2025, according to Shams Charania.
Since teaming up with Converse in 2021, Gilgeous-Alexander has released several player-exclusive colorways and worked on lifestyle models. While the design of his signature sneaker remains a secret, it’s expected to be bold and fashionable.
Details of Gilgeous-Alexander’s extended partnership with Converse and his signature shoe are yet to be revealed. Stay tuned for updates.
In summary, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has extended his contract with Converse, becoming the Creative Director for Converse Basketball. His inaugural signature shoe is slated for release in 2025, promising a bold design. Keep an eye out for more information on this exciting collaboration.
