The Converse SHAI 001 "Pink" delivers monochromatic bubblegum pink across Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's signature basketball shoe for Spring 2026.

Design & Inspiration

Full Pink execution across entire upper, midsole, and outsole creates bold monochromatic statement. Puffed molded upper blends neoprene and TPU materials for futuristic look with flexibility and structure. Silver metallic zipper shroud provides adaptive containment with hidden laces underneath for customizable fit. Padded tongue features SGA's signature mirrored "2" logo representing duality as athlete and creative. Nike Zoom Air unit in forefoot delivers springy responsive cushioning. Radial traction pattern on outsole optimized for cuts, quick direction changes, and explosive on-court movement. First teased September 2025 when SGA wore with all-pink tunnel outfit channeling Cam'ron aesthetic.
