Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is officially making waves off the court, too. During his first 2025 NBA Playoff appearance, the Oklahoma City Thunder star laced up his very own Converse SHAI 001 in the brand-new “Ares Grey” colorway — giving fans a clean preview of what’s to come this fall.

The “Ares Grey” Converse SHAI 001 keeps things minimal and sleek. The all-grey color palette matches Shai’s understated but high-fashion taste. From its fluid overlays to a sculpted midsole and zipped shroud construction, the silhouette blends futuristic performance elements with lifestyle aesthetics. It's a sneaker that reflects the same poise and precision that SGA brings to the game — both in the tunnel and on the hardwood.

Although Converse hasn’t officially announced a release date yet, the SHAI 001 “Ares Grey” is expected to drop in Fall 2025. Given Shai’s rising stardom and the early buzz around this debut model, anticipation is sky-high.
