Converse Drops a Snakeskin SHAI 001 PREMIUM

Get the MVP look.

Converse has just delivered the ultimate statement piece for those looking to add a fierce touch to their sneaker rotation. The brand is officially launching the Converse SHAI 001 PREMIUM: Slither, a limited-release of NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s basketball silhouette that seamlessly bridges high performance with high fashion.

Inspired by the fluid movement and adaptability of snakeskin, the shoe features a head-turning, premium synthetic leather upper fully wrapped in a rich snake-print pattern. Designed to make an impression both on and off the court, the pair is packed with elevated touches and subtle details, including a matching snake-print wrapped heel overlay, debossed tongue logos, a metallic foil sock liner graphic and a sleek zipper pull. To top it off, each pair arrives with a cotton dustbag adorned with a metallic Converse logo.

Beyond its striking aesthetic, the silhouette is engineered to perform when the pressure is on. A radial traction pattern offers multidirectional control, forefoot Zoom Air delivers responsive energy return and an over-lasted midsole ensures a low, stable feel for effortless movement.

The Converse SHAI 001 PREMIUM: Slither is available to purchase now on the Converse website and select retailers.
