A vibrant debut from an NBA MVP.
The Converse SHAI 001 “Butter” heralds Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander’s first signature sneaker and delivers a bold monochromatic yellow look that’s destined to stand out—from the hardwood to the street.

Construction and design
Crafted with a futuristic molded upper and zip-over tongue, this pair keeps things sleek while ensuring containment. The “Butter” colorway bathes the shoe in a soft yellow, offering a smooth, monochromatic finish. Extra cushioning on the collar and padding adds to the performance-ready feel, and subtle Converse and SGA branding complete the refined yet expressive design.

Comfort and performance
Underfoot, the SHAI 001 features a Nike Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for responsive cushioning, paired with a radial-pattern traction outsole designed for sharp cuts and traction—combining performance reliability with unique style.
