TLDR: On 2 October 2025, the Converse SHAI 001 ‘Charm Black’ will be released for €130. The colourway honours Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's mother Charmaine – elegant, mysterious and uncompromising, just like her. Following the ‘Butter’ and ‘Ares Grey’ colourways, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander now presents the third version of his first signature sneaker: the Converse SHAI 001 ‘Charm Black’. Inspired by his mother's favourite colour, the shoe features an all-black look that exudes elegance and strength.
As with the previous versions, the distinctive puffed upper with zip cover is used here too – closed on the court, worn open off it. Shai's own logo on the tongue makes the design even more personal.
The ‘Charm Black’ shows once again how deeply Shai is involved in the creative process. According to the Converse team, he impressed them with his extraordinary talent even when sketching the first designs.
