Following the successful launch of FAMILY, the SHAI 001 journey continues with the latest chapter, WINTER RED, dropping on December 11th. This striking colorway takes its cue from the winterberry, a plant that thrives in harsh conditions, symbolising strength, endurance, and the focused mindset that has defined Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s rise to NBA stardom.
The design speaks volumes: a vivid University Red upper, sharp green accents along the zipper, Shai’s signature logo on the tongue and insole, and Converse’s iconic Star Chevron on the heel. Every detail reflects confidence and composure, qualities that resonate with athletes and creators alike.
Like every SHAI 001, WINTER RED is engineered for performance and style, on and off the court. Expect forefoot Zoom Air for responsive energy, a radial traction pattern for multidirectional control, and an over-lasted midsole for low, connected stability built to move the way Shai does: precise, consistent, and always evolving.
South Africa’s basketball and streetwear culture is on the rise, with young creators and athletes redefining style both on the court and in the streets. WINTER RED speaks to that energy: bold, confident, and ready for the spotlight. Whether you’re hooping in Jozi or styling in Cape Town, this drop is made for those who move with purpose.
The Converse SHAI 001 WINTER RED will be available on Converse.com and the Sandton store exclusively from December 11th 2025.
