Coming later this month, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s SHAI 001 “Spark” keeps things pretty simple from the outside with a mostly light grey finish. Most of the shoe is covered in light grey, while the bright yellow only really shows once you unzip the shroud.

Light grey covers the molded upper, wrapping around the toe and through the sculpted side panels. The same shade continues across the midsole and rubber outsole, while translucent-looking grey pieces around the heel add some separation without changing the overall look. A front zipper replaces the usual exposed lacing setup and runs nearly the full length of the shroud.

Opening the zipper reveals the biggest change in color. Bright yellow covers the hidden mesh tongue and laces, with more yellow showing on the exposed tongue at the top. Shai’s logo is embroidered in grey, while another yellow detail appears through the small window underneath the outsole.

The SHAI 001 also keeps its basketball setup intact, including Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot and a wide rubber traction pattern underneath.

The Converse SHAI 001 Shroud “Spark” releases September 24, 2026, for $140 through Nike SNKRS, Converse, and select retailers.
