Converse may have just teased their latest collaboration with NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the court and the trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth.

Returning to the performance basketball scene with the latest drop in its SHAI 001 line, the ‘Ares Grey’ — a sleek, minimalist take on NBA All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s debut signature sneaker.

Following the warm reception of the ‘Butter’ colourway, the ‘Ares Grey’ brings a cooler, more muted vibe. The neutral grey features a moulded upper, clean lines, and a zipped closure that sets it apart from traditional basketball footwear. It’s a statement piece that balances performance with understated elegance.

As Converse and Gilgeous-Alexander continue to shape the future of performance and style, the SHAI 001 ‘Ares Grey’, we are curious about what is next for this collaboration. With more colourways rumoured to be on the way, this signature line is only just getting started.
