Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, camped out overnight to be the first in line at KITH Toronto for Shai’s first signature sneaker, the “Butter” Converse Shai 001.
Oklahoma City Thunder superstar and reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has officially released his first signature sneaker, the Converse Shai 001.
Fans were eager to get their hands on the highly anticipated drop, with many hoping to be among the first to cop the shoe. But perhaps no one was more excited than Shai’s cousin — and fellow NBA player — Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
In fact, Alexander-Walker camped out overnight at KITH Toronto to be the very first in line for Shai’s debut signature sneaker.
According to Courtside Buzz, Nickeil shared that the experience brought back memories of his childhood, when he would camp out for Jordan releases. This time, though, it wasn’t just about the sneakers — it was about reliving that nostalgia and enjoying the “side quest” as an adult, even though he could easily skip the line today.
