More Info: Sneaker Release Dates
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Converse are finally ready to branch out. After spending its first chapter focused exclusively on monotone colorways, the Converse SHAI 001 has emerged in its first patterned style, suiting up in camo for Spring 2026. Debuted by SGA himself at the Converse Shai Lounge during NBA All-Star, the SHAI 001 “Camo” sees its entire upper covered in a woodland print. That All-Star Weekend preview generated serious buzz, and now the public is finally getting a shot at retail.
Camouflage covers the majority of the upper, except for its TPU heel stabilizer in Green. That same color is then used for the rest of the sneaker, while the tongue and heel logos are applied in Black. The four-color army camo print covers the entire upper, split into a few overlapping panels, which show off the texture of the zipper-front silhouette. To keep the busy pattern cohesive, Converse opted for a uniform army Green finish on the shoe’s signature zippered shroud and chunky rubber outsole. Subtle branding details complete the look, with SGA’s personal logo embroidered in black directly on the tongue and stamped on the insole.

Bottom Line
The “Camo” Converse SHAI 001 marks a turning point for the silhouette. The monochromatic releases laid the foundation. They established the shoe’s identity, proved it could sell, and connected it directly to Shai’s tunnel walk aesthetic. The “Camo” is Converse betting that the SHAI 001 has built enough credibility to expand into new territory without losing what made it work in the first place.
