Product Description
The Converse SHAI 001 Lace Up Cheetah is a performance-focused basketball shoe from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s signature line. Its upper is puffed, moulded and seamless, while the padded cheetah-print tongue brings together Shai’s on-court agility and his clear off-court style. The signature logo on the tongue references his jersey number, 2. The external zip on the first SHAI 001 has been replaced by a front lacing system, offering a more controlled lockdown and a more personalised fit. A Nike Zoom Air unit in the forefoot provides flexibility and energy return through quick movements. The radial rubber outsole is designed for traction during sudden changes of direction. Its close-to-the-ground, stable platform favours responsiveness over soft cushioning, delivering the court feel often sought by guards. It fits true to size for standard and narrow feet. Those with wider feet may find a half size up more comfortable due to the narrower toe box. The Cheetah, style code A24961C, was among Shai’s final Converse releases before his new chapter with Nike. That context makes it especially notable to collectors. Hard to find in Türkiye, this model is listed at sutore following an authenticity check. A considered choice for a silhouette with clear character, on court and beyond.
