Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s signature line adds a sharper edge with the Converse SHAI 001 Premium “Steel” edition. The new colorway gives SGA’s debut model a polished metallic finish as Oklahoma City enters its West Semifinals matchup against LeBron James and the Lakers.

The Converse SHAI 001 “Steel” features a molded metallic leather upper with a sleek, reflective look. A leather-wrapped heel overlay adds to the premium feel, while the zipper shroud keeps the silhouette clean and modern. Debossed tongue branding and a metallic foil sockliner print complete the elevated build.

Performance details remain true to the SHAI 001s on-court purpose. A radial traction pattern supports quick changes of direction, while forefoot Zoom Air adds responsive cushioning. The over-lasted midsole also helps create a low-to-the-ground feel for better control and stability.

The “Steel” colorway reflects SGA’s calm but physical style of play. Its silver finish gives the shoe a luxury feel, but the performance setup keeps it ready for contact, cuts, and playoff-level movement.
