Converse shines OKC Shai Gilgeous-Alexander logo over Boston after win against Celtics

In a thrilling 118-112 road victory, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. Thunder fans were delighted to see the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander logo projected on multiple buildings around the city, resembling a Batman-like symbol, thanks to his sneaker sponsor, Converse.

After their impressive victory over the Boston Celtics, the footwear company based in Boston celebrated the Thunder’s win by projecting SGA’s signature logo onto the Prudential Tower, the headquarters of Converse, and TD Garden. SGA and Converse collaborated on the SHAI 001, a shoe designed to redefine performance in basketball footwear. SGA debuted the shoe during the 2025 All-Star Weekend, and it has since become a staple in his game as he aims to lead the Thunder to an NBA title.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, scoring an impressive 34 points against the Celtics. Chet Holmgren also made a significant contribution to the victory with 23 points and 15 rebounds. This outstanding performance from the top team in the West has clinched a playoff berth.
