The Bubblegum Pink Converse Shai 001 is Dropping Soon

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having another incredible year. After winning just about every accolade an NBA player can in 2025, SGA is looking for a back-to-back performance in the new year, leading his OKC Thunder to a league-best record at the All-Star break and continuing to show out with runway-ready outfits and instantly sold-out colorways of his first signature shoe, the Converse Shai 001.

Keeping the loud fashion energy amped up, SGA’s latest Shai 001 is a bright pink monochrome colorway that the MVP first previewed late last year. Shai stepped out with the bubblegum pink Shai 001 colorway in September of last year during the initial rollout for the silhouette, and now, we’ve finally got a better look at the pale pink zip-up hoop shoe.

Like most of the Shai 001 colorways so far, the pink colorway keeps a monochrome shade consistent across the entire shoe except for the silver zipper. This time, the Pepto pink color makes it look like you stepped into a vat of bubblegum before hitting the court. Like past Shai 001 colorways, the pink colorway features a neoprene and TPU upper with a Zoom Air unit built into the midsole for added comfort.

The Converse Shai 001 Pink will be released Spring 2026 through Converse and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest Converse SGA news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
