The Oklahoma City Thunder made history recently, securing their first-ever NBA championship. This victory marks a significant turning point for the team, distinct from their legacy as the Seattle Supersonics. A pivotal figure in the Thunder’s successful playoff run and recent resurgence is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), who earned both NBA MVP and Finals MVP honors.

SGA, a signature athlete for Converse, showcased various new colorways of his signature shoe, the SHAI 001, throughout the playoffs. However, amidst the championship celebration, SGA notably sported a unique, gold-colored pair of SHAI 001s around his neck.

About the Converse SHAI 001 “Trophy Gold” PE

This special edition, officially named “Trophy Gold”, boasts a striking monochromatic golden finish, covering its puffy neoprene and leather upper. The shoe features distinct, organically shaped panels on the midfoot, and its lacing system is discreetly hidden beneath a zipper shroud. SGA’s logo, which he designed himself, is prominently displayed on the tongue. Completing the design are a golden midsole equipped with Zoom Air cushioning and a matching tonal rubber outsole.

Release Details

Unfortunately for fans hoping to acquire the Converse SHAI 001 “Trophy Gold”, it is a one-of-one pair, created exclusively for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to commemorate his NBA Finals triumph. However, the general release of the SHAI 001 is anticipated for Fall 2025, with availability through Converse and select retailers at a retail price of US$130. Colorways fans can anticipate include “Butter” and “Masi Blue”.
