Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wins his second consecutive MVP and while he’s one of the best players on the court, he also brings the same smooth game off it.
Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wins his second MVP award in a row in the 2025-26 NBA Season. He averaged 31.1 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 6.6 APG and led the Oklahoma City Thunder to another first-seed finish in the Western Conference with 64 wins. There’s no question that SGA is the best player on the league’s top team, but off the court, he might be as well. Across the NBA, he’s one of the few players that brings it every night both on and off the floor.
Since his rookie season, SGA has always brought class to the tunnels. As his game evolved, his fits did too. With the back-to-back NBA MVP award now in his bag, let’s take a look back at some of the best fits SGA wore this season, proving why he’s also an MVP off the floor.
Clean Slate
This is a certified MVP-level fit. The white trench coat exudes class, but the details should not go unnoticed. The eyewear, the belt, the wash of the denim, and the boots all come together perfectly. Shai brings it everywhere no matter the occasion.
Plaid Flannel Look: SGA’s Nod to His Rookie Style Era
Plaid flannels bring back memories of Shai’s rookie season fits. He rocked a lot of flannels during his first year in the league and now, as a two-time MVP, it still hits differently. The Shai 001 “Clean Slate” also perfectly matches the overall vibe of the outfit.
Pop of Color: Shai 001 ‘Winter Red’
The Shai 001 became a staple this season in the tunnels and the red colorway works as the perfect complementary piece to this fit. The sneakers provide a strong pop of color while the neutral tones of the gray zip-up hoodie and white trousers balance everything out. There’s no eyewear this time around, but the classic patterned Burberry scarf sits perfectly with the fit.
Varsity Energy Featuring Shai 001 ‘Steel’
No one rocks signature basketball shoes in casual fits quite like SGA. The “Steel” colorway of the Converse Shai 001 blends perfectly with the well-fitted khaki trousers. The fully buttoned-up red varsity jacket adds a great pop of color while the eyewear choice serves as the finishing touch to a well-curated outfit.
Rojiblancos: Atlético Madrid Tracksuit Look
A clean Atlético Madrid tracksuit moment styled the SGA way. Shai rocks a tracksuit here while repping the LaLiga club. It’s simple, but the way he carries the set makes all the difference. The accessories elevate the fit even more as SGA continues to level up his eyewear game, while the oversized LV bag feels like the perfect finishing piece.
Elevated Basics
An all-black base will almost always work and the choice of pieces here makes for an excellent fit. Black dress shoes, black denim, a black baseball shirt, and sunglasses allow the silver chain to stand out. Meanwhile, the workwear camo jacket filled with pockets elevates the entire outfit to another level.
Detail Heavy: Eyewear and Accessories in SGA’s Best Fit of the Season
What makes SGA’s outfits stand out are the details people might miss at first glance. This eyewear piece became a staple in Shai’s rotation this season and blends seamlessly with different styles. The jacket elevates a simple base fit while the washed jeans and vintage shirt allow it to stand out even more. The chain matching the tones of the sunglasses ties the entire outfit together perfectly.
