Converse SHAI 001 "Clean Slate" launches 2026 in triple-white minimalism. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's debut signature shoe continues its monochromatic tradition with crisp all-white construction, first worn during OKC Thunder Media Day in September.
SGA's first signature model debuted February 2025, featuring distinctive zipper-front closure and sculpted silhouette designed through hand-drawn sketches. OKC Thunder's 2025 championship season—Finals MVP averaging 32.7 PPG, first player winning regular season and Finals MVP same year since Shaq in 2000—established SHAI 001 as hottest basketball shoe release of 2025. "Butter" colorway (September 4, 2025) sold out within 25 minutes. Family Pack colorways ("Masi Blue," "Hail Clay," "Charm Black") honored wife Hailey, brother Thomasi, mother Charmaine—all worn throughout championship playoff run.
