Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s rising star, recently caught attention on Instagram with his sneaker switcheroo. In one set of photos, he’s rocking the classic Jordan 1 ‘Black Toe’, a sleek choice perfect for any occasion.

Then, in the next set, he swaps them out for a pair of black Timberlands, giving his look a more laid-back vibe.

What’s fascinating is the practicality behind the switch. As a basketball player, comfort is key, and changing his sneakers ensures he stays supported throughout the day.

He’s known for his stylish flair both on and off the court. With a growing social media following, he’s redefining what it means to be fashionable in the NBA.
