NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has just revealed a new version of his signature sneaker — the Converse SHAI 001 “Masi Blue.” This icy blue colorway drops ahead of the NBA Finals and pays a heartfelt tribute to his younger brother, Thomasi, who is affectionately called “Masi.”
The “Masi Blue” shade was chosen to reflect his brother’s calm and cool personality — described by Shai as “stoic and cool as ice.” The sneaker comes with a modern and sleek design featuring a zip-up closure instead of regular laces, giving it a unique and futuristic look. The branding is kept minimal, which makes the shoe perfect for both basketball games and casual streetwear.
This colorway also ties into the Oklahoma City Thunder team colors, making it even more special for fans. The “Masi Blue” is one of several personal colorways from the SHAI 001 series. Others include “Hail Clay” (for his wife), “Ares Grey” (for his son), and “Charm Black” (for his mom).
The Converse SHAI 001 “Masi Blue” will be released in Fall 2025 for $130 USD and will be available at Converse.com and select stores. Whether you're a basketball fan or just love stylish sneakers, this drop is definitely one to watch.
