Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s debut signature sneaker had Oklahoma City buzzing this week, as the Converse SHAI 001 Family Pack launch party at Dick’s Sporting Goods drew huge crowds and sold out in just a few hours. Fans lined up well before the event, with the first in line arriving at 3 p.m. on Wednesday to score a signed Shai jersey.
The store turned into a celebration of the Thunder star, highlighted by a towering 15-foot Masi Blue statue and a display of the Larry O’Brien trophy alongside Shai’s Trophy Gold pair. Guests were treated to free food trucks, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere that matched the excitement around the release.
The SHAI 001 Family Pack didn’t last long once doors opened, selling out across all retailers within minutes earlier that morning, with the in-store celebration adding to the frenzy.
The event left no doubt: Shai’s first signature has become a cultural force, with Oklahoma City setting the stage for what already feels like a legendary moment in both basketball and sneaker history.
