The highly anticipated Converse x SHAI 001 Family Range officially drops this Friday, October 3rd at 10:30 AM AEDT (new date, previously October 2nd). This exclusive release marks one of Converse Basketball’s biggest moments in recent years, making it a must-cop for sneakerheads and fans of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
As the Creative Director of Converse Basketball, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has redefined the brand’s performance line. The SHAI 001 silhouette is more than just footwear—it is Shai’s story in motion. Designed from the inside out, the sneaker reflects his dual identity as both an elite athlete and a creative force. Every detail, from its sculptural build to its performance-driven engineering, was crafted with intent. Each stitch tells part of Shai’s journey on and off the court.
This October, the SHAI 001 evolves with three bold new colourways: Charm Black, Hail Clay, and Masi Blue. Each hue carries a personal meaning, rooted in family ties and inspired by the people closest to Shai. These colourways not only elevate performance on the hardwood but also embody a deeper narrative—showcasing the mindset of a player who lives with purpose and plays with intention.
With a retail price of $260 AUD, the Converse x SHAI 001 Family Range is expected to sell out fast. Sneaker fans and basketball enthusiasts should act quickly to secure their pair, as this marks the next chapter in Converse’s return to performance basketball innovation.
