Shai Gilgeous-Alexander seemingly teased a shoe contract with Nike in a social media post on Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder star posted a video of his signature logo briefly changing into a pair of Nike logos on his Instagram story.
Gilgeous-Alexander has been with Converse since 2020.
He eventually signed a new endorsement deal with Converse in 2024, as he was also named creative director of Converse basketball.
Gilgeous-Alexander’s first signature shoe, the Shai 001, was unveiled in Feb. 2025.
The 27-year-old has blossomed into one of the NBA’s top players since first signing with Converse. He earned MVP honors during his 2024-25 campaign and helped lead the Thunder to a championship before receiving his second straight MVP award last season.
Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 31.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 55.3 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from three-point territory during his 2025-26 campaign.
The Thunder advanced to the Western Conference Finals this year, as the four-time All-Star averaged 27.6 points per game on 46.3/30.5/89.2 shooting splits in 15 postseason appearances.
