Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s debut signature shoe with Converse arrived with the Clean Slate colorway to kick off 2026. The SHAI 001 reflected SGA’s understated, clean aesthetic, presenting his performance basketball vision through Converse‘s design language.
The Clean Slate colorway leaned into tonal whites and minimalist finishes, giving the shoe versatility on and off the court. It marked one of the most anticipated debut signature releases in recent NBA history given SGA’s MVP-caliber rise.
The Converse SHAI 001 Clean Slate retailed at $130 and released January 2, 2026 through Converse and select retailers.
