The laced version of the SHAI 001, Converse's signature model for Shai, which originally closed with a zipper. Swapping in laces changes how the shoe is secured without altering the sculptural shape, which stays as it was. The upper is puffed and moulded rather than panelled, and a Nike Zoom Air unit sits at the forefoot for responsiveness. Traction is radial, laid out to support quick changes of direction, and the ride is low and stable. The padded tongue carries Shai's signature logo, which Converse says references his number and his dual identity as athlete and creative. This colorway pairs Berry with Dusk.
It is scheduled for August 14, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern at $120, in a size run listed across men's and women's from 3. Converse files the shoe under lifestyle rather than basketball, even though the construction is performance-derived. A second Lace Up colorway in Straw and Lime, with a cheetah-print tongue, follows in September at the same price. The Zoom Air unit is a Nike component, reflecting the two brands sharing engineering.
