"The SHAI 001 is more than just another basketball sneaker - it's a reflection of Gilgeous-Alexander's journey as an athlete, artist, and style icon. As both an NBA All-Star and Converse Basketball Creative Director, Shai brings an intimate, creator-led perspective to the design process, making every stitch, material choice, and sculptural line an intentional expression of his identity. True to Converse's commitment to crafting footwear that performs under pressure, the SHAI 001 is equipped with elite-level technology designed for today's dynamic game."
"A radial traction pattern ensures multidirectional control, giving players confidence in every cut, crossover, and defensive stance. The forefoot Zoom Air cushioning delivers responsive energy return, translating every step and jump into explosive movement. An over-lasted midsole enhances stability and balance, keeping players grounded without sacrificing agility. These performance features reflect Shai's own game - poised, precise, and controlled, yet capable of sudden bursts of creativity and intensity."
The SHAI 001 "Family" colorways launch on October 2 through Foot Locker online via launch reservation and at select retail locations. The design reflects Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s identity as an athlete, artist, and Converse Basketball Creative Director, with creator-led choices in stitch, material, and sculptural lines. Performance features include a radial traction pattern for multidirectional control, forefoot Zoom Air cushioning for responsive energy return, and an over-lasted midsole for enhanced stability and balance. Three new colorways pay homage to the people who shaped Shai’s world. The sneaker aims to support both high-level on-court play and everyday style.
