Sneaker News The OKC Thunder title defense has officially begun as the 2025-2026 NBA Season tipped off on the night of October 21st, 2025. Before the start of the game, the defending champs were rewarded with their championship rings–and the team’s leader and superstar made sure to bring the right kicks for the big night.
Converse has shared official images of the SHAI 001 “Banner” for this special night. This is the first SHAI 001 colorway to feature a two-toned color-blocking, boasting a championship-worthy blend of metallic gold on the bottoms and lower-half of the upper while a white floods the molded upper, ankle collar, and interior. Shai’s inter-locking double-S logo appears in gold on the white tongue.
Currently, these are an exclusive to the athlete, although we wouldn’t be surprised if Converse released these somewhere down the line as we patiently await the next round of SHAI 001 releases.
