Shai Gilgeous-Alexander previews Nike SHAI 001 signature sneaker
NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has previewed the Nike SHAI 001, a signature sneaker that marks his transition from Converse to the main Nike brand. The footwear was spotted in his Oklahoma City locker during NBA Media Day.
The revealed model features a vibrant orange colorway with white interiors and a traditional lace-up design, omitting the zippered shroud seen on previous Converse versions. While maintaining the original silhouette, the new iteration prominently features the Nike logo on the heel.
This release serves as a commercial and aesthetic bridge between his time with Converse and his upcoming Nike signature line. The SHAI 001 is expected to debut around the 2026-2027 NBA season.
