It’s always tough to follow an MVP season capped off by a championship, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder are still making a case for being one of the best squads in the NBA. They started the season white-hot, had a bit of a rough stretch, but have picked it up in the last few weeks as they sit atop the Western Conference. SGA’s 30+ point average sure does help too. The superstar is putting in MVP numbers once again in his own signature sneaker, the Converse Shai 001, and new colorways continue to emerge as we enter the final half of the 25-’26 NBA season. Next up is a bubblegum pink iteration.
If you feel like you saw this Converse Shai 001 in pink before, your memory serves you right. SGA was spotted in September of last year wearing this colorway with an all-pink outfit that channeled Killa Cam. More recently, retailer images of the sneaker emerged online, confirming the pair would be hitting shelves. Now, official Converse images have appeared, meaning a drop is just around the corner.
This pink colorway of the Shai 001 continues the monochromatic build found on the majority of colorways of the silhouette, dipped entirely in a single pink hue. This bubblegum shade takes over the synthetic paneling on the base, the puffy neoprene around the midfoot, the zipper shroud, and the sole unit below. Shai’s hand-designed logo on the tongue is embroidered in a slightly different pink hue to stand out, matching the Converse chevron logo on the heel.
The Converse Shai 001 Pink will be released Spring 2026 through Converse and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $130.
