"Converse is doubling down on momentum around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's debut sneaker, the Converse SHAI 001, with a complementary release that taps into the timeless appeal of the Chuck Taylor All Star. While the SHAI 001 serves as a statement of performance and personality for one of the NBA 's most exciting guards, the new Chuck Taylor pack extends that energy into a lifestyle lane. This thoughtful move creates a bridge between athletic innovation and casual wear, broadening the reach of the rollout to audiences beyond basketball."
"The SHAI 001 is already drawing attention for its bold construction, carefully considered details, and design that mirrors Gilgeous-Alexander's distinctive fashion sense. Converse has carried those cues into the Chuck Taylor All Star, offering three pairs that directly align with the SHAI 001 colorways. Available in monochromatic black, deep blue, and earthy tan, each pair mirrors the palette of the performance model launching on October 2."
"It's worth clarifying that these SHAI 001-inspired releases come in the classic Chuck Taylor All Star build - not the Chuck 70. This distinction matters. The All Star is iconic for its streamlined shape and enduring affordability, whereas the Chuck 70 is celebrated for its premium materials and refined detailing. At $75 USD, these new All Stars embody everyday accessibility while still carrying the aesthetic spirit of the SHAI 001."
Converse is releasing a Chuck Taylor All Star pack that matches the SHAI 001 performance model's colorways to bridge performance and lifestyle appeal. The pack includes three monochromatic options—black, deep blue, and earthy tan—that mirror the SHAI 001 palette and coincide with the performance model's October 2 launch. The Chuck Taylor All Star build is used for these releases rather than the Chuck 70, emphasizing affordability and a streamlined silhouette. Priced at $75 USD, the All Stars present a more accessible way for fans to engage with Gilgeous-Alexander's aesthetic without committing to a performance shoe. The pairing broadens audience reach beyond basketball.
