Converse - SHAI 001 Butter Basketball Shoes

The men’s Converse SHAI 001 basketball shoes in Butter harmonize comfort, containment, durability, and distinctive style in a performance-focused silhouette. Engineered for elite play on and off the court, the SHAI 001 debuts a puffed, molded upper with stretch textile and synthetic nubuck for a soft and futuristic feel. The design incorporates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s signature logo plus a padded tongue, nodding to his jersey number and duality as both athlete and creative.

Responsive energy return comes courtesy of a “stick of gum” style Nike Zoom Air unit in the forefoot, while a full inner bootie and zip-up shroud offer lockdown, custom containment, and multiple styling options. Radial underfoot traction is mapped for sharp cuts and explosive movement, paired with an over-lasted EVA midsole for connected, stable court feel. Durable materials, a high-wear rubber outsole, and thoughtful support features ensure mobility and security. The locking zipper enables players to tailor fit and style for performance or lifestyle wear.
