Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the rising star of the Oklahoma City Thunder, recently received a one-of-a-kind pair of Timberland boots called “Flames.”

Crafted over five days by Timberland’s senior designers, these boots were a gesture of appreciation for Gilgeous-Alexander’s off-court dedication. The boots, part of Timberland’s iconic 8-inch line, were designed to keep him “on fire” as a top player in the NBA.

Fashion has always been a passion for Gilgeous-Alexander, who credits his parents for instilling a sense of style from a young age. This collaboration between Gilgeous-Alexander and Timberland showcases the intersection of sports and fashion, reinforcing his influence beyond basketball.

Through partnerships with esteemed brands like Timberland, Gilgeous-Alexander is redefining the role of athletes as style icons and cultural influencers.

The “Flames” boots serve as a symbol of this fusion, emphasizing that sports and style can coexist seamlessly.
