UPDATE 2/17/26: Official product images of the Converse Shai 001 “Pink” have now surfaced via @brandon1an, giving a detailed look at the upcoming colorway. The release is currently expected on March 12th for $130 USD.

The all-pink design stays true to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s signature aesthetic, featuring a tonal upper with the model’s signature zippered shroud and streamlined build. More details are expected to follow as the release approaches.

Original Story 9/8/25:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was spotted in a new Converse Shai 001 “Pink” colorway, adding fresh buzz to his 2025 signature sneaker line.

The Converse Shai 001 was initially unveiled as part of All-Star Weekend, quickly gaining attention for its zippered shroud and lifestyle-oriented silhouette. Converse and Shai first dropped the “Butter” colorway this fall, and it seems that the two may be ramping up the lineup. In a recent Instagram post, the Thunder star was spotted wearing an all-pink edition of the shoe that has not yet been released. Sneakerheads will quickly recognize that.

Similar to the “Butter”, this colorway leans into Shai’s affinity for single colorways. Tonally laced with matching midsoles, the shoe was a perfect match for Shai’s pink fit as he hit the town in Los Angeles. It’s a low-key, but bold statement that is consistent with Shai’s off-the-court style. Of course, very little is known about the upcoming colorway, but this makeup could foreshadow more playful iterations moving forward outside of his story-driven releases.
