A signature sneaker designed for performance and style.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has finally unveiled his first signature shoe with Converse: the SHAI 001. This marks a big milestone for the NBA star, who has been with Converse Basketball for five years. The shoe is designed for players who challenge the norm, just like SGA himself.
Shai played a major role in shaping the sneaker, from testing it on the court to sharing his own sketches with the Converse team. The SHAI 001 is built for both comfort and performance, using top technology from Converse and Nike to ensure durability, support, and a sleek design.
The first colorway, called “Butter,” features a bold yellow tone throughout the shoe. Its upper has a unique puffy design with a winged shroud and padded collar. The sneaker also includes a zipper system over the laces, allowing it to be worn fully zipped, half-zipped, or completely open for different looks and feels.
For performance, the shoe includes a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for extra bounce and a radial traction outsole to support quick movements on the court.
While the SHAI 001 won’t officially release until fall, Shai will be wearing it in different colorways throughout the season. Fans can get an early look at the sneaker during the NBA All-Star Game, where he is expected to debut the “Butter” edition. If you’re in San Francisco, you can also check it out at the SHAI 001 STUDIO pop-up.
