The Oklahoma City Thunder continue their journey in the NBA playoffs with the 2025 NBA MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the shoe brand Converse celebrated the star in a unique style.
Gilgeous-Alexander, who was named MVP on Wednesday, has left his mark not just on the court but also on the streets of downtown Oklahoma City and at his former high school, Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario. Several murals, a collaborative effort between SGA and Converse, have been updated to celebrate his MVP win, adding a unique touch to the city’s landscape and connecting the fans to the celebration.
Converse was not the only one celebrating Gilgeous-Alexander; the SGA logo was featured on the Devon Tower in downtown Oklahoma City. The tallest building in the city displayed ‘SGA’ followed by ‘MVP’ throughout the day after the announcement.
In his first game as the MVP in the Western Conference finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to debut his latest shoe color, named ‘Hail Clay.’ This unique color, inspired by his wife Hailey Summers’ eye color, is a heartfelt tribute to her as his ‘Most Valuable Person,’ adding a personal touch to the celebration.
