TLDR: On 2 October 2025, the Converse SHAI 001 ‘Masi Blue’ will be released for €130. The colourway pays homage to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's brother Thomasi and features a clean, tonal blue. With the SHAI 001, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is not only making basketball history, but also family history. Following the ‘Hail Clay’ (for his wife) and ‘Ares Grey’ (for his son) models, he is dedicating the ‘Masi Blue’ to his brother Thomasi.
The design remains futuristic and minimalist: a padded upper with zip cover, this time completely in various shades of blue. This means that the sneaker not only fits perfectly with the story, but also with the Oklahoma City Thunder's home jerseys.
Converse itself emphasises the family significance: Thomasi is also under contract with Converse and could receive exclusive player editions. The SHAI series thus continues its tradition of combining personal stories with style and performance.
