Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Reveals Converse SHAI 001 In Pink

The Converse SHAI 001 is officially upon us. First revealed all the way back in February around the All-Star game and beginning to let loose looks at additional colorways through the playoffs, the SHAI 001 hit the public in its “Butter” variation to start the month of September. However eye-catching the initial rollout was, both the MVP and the sneaker giant have eyes on making their concurrent efforts just as splashy, as seen with the reveal of the Converse SHAI 001 in pink.

In an Instagram dump showcasing his recent moves, the reigning scoring champion flexed an unreleased version of his signature, demonstrating his love for all-over coloring once again in rosy pink. Almost to a man, follow-ups to the original “Butter” have tied to one of Gilgeous-Alexander’s family members, perhaps the case again for this more delicate do up. Alternatively, as seen with the “Trophy Gold,” maybe this is proof of a “second stage” that’ll follow the versions he previewed on Fallon, in which he and Converse can take to less weighty narrative fare.

With those Late Night pairs touching down as a trio on October 2nd, there’s a chance that we see this pink Converse SHAI 001 before the year is out. Genearlly, expect these sometime in 2025/26.
