Editor's Notes: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a hot name in the NBA. Coming into his fourth season as a prospective all-star for the Oklahoma City Thunder, the young Canadian has eyes on him on and off the court.
For the young, rising stars of the NBA, their appearances outside of play have been just as important as their in-game performances as they battle for best dressed. Shai is no exception, and his appetite for Off-White Nikes and a slew of hyped Jordan 1s have made him a popular style pick.
As a result, Converse has tapped the young athlete to pour his style into two of its most iconic silhouettes. Suitably named "Chase The Drip," the two-pack provides a low and high-top option in the form of the Pro Leather Low and Chuck 70.
The first sneaker, the Pro Leather Low, adopts the wildly popular UNC colorway that has adorned many a Nike silhouette. Light blue fills the full length of the shoe, while white contrasts appear at the laces and medial branding.
For the Chuck 70, there is more than first meets the eye. At first glance, this looks like your run-of-the-mill Converse with a white upper and off-white sole. However, the white denim can be torn away to reveal a bright blue tie-dye pattern below.
