Converse SHAI 001 Blush Drops March 12, 2026 Globally at $130

The Converse SHAI 001 'Blush' will be available in a global release on Thursday, March 12, 2026, priced at $130 in adult sizes, and offered through Converse.com, the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers. “Online shoppers will be able to buy the performance basketball shoes for $130 in adult sizes on Converse.com, the Nike SNKRS app, and select retailers,” a product release window confirms, setting a clear buying map four days ahead of the drop.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, listed as Oklahoma City Thunder point guard and Creative Director of Converse Basketball, has already put the colorway on view: “Last week, Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander appropriately debuted the Converse SHAI 001 'Blush' colorway in Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.” Converse frames the launch around a seasonal pivot, noting, “Spring brings a shift in energy. Gilgeous-Alexander, Creative Director of Converse Basketball, channels that feeling into the SHAI 001 'Blush' colorway.”

The shoe is presented as a monochromatic statement — called “Blush” by several outlets and shown as a single-color execution in official imagery — but it is as much performance hardware as it is a fashion-forward tunnel-walk piece. Sneaker Bar Detroit breaks down the build: “A radial traction pattern supports quick directional changes, helping players stay in control during fast-paced movement.” It continues, “Responsive forefoot Nike Zoom Air cushioning adds energy return, giving the shoe a lively feel underfoot during play,” and notes, “An over-lasted midsole design keeps the foot sitting low and connected to the court, creating a grounded ride that suits Gilgeous-Alexander’s smooth and calculated play style.” The publication concludes that the silhouette is “built to mirror the guard’s precise movements while maintaining a modern lifestyle appeal.”

Retail mechanics vary by partner. Foot Locker’s product page lists the shoe as “Converse SHAI 001 Blush” and instructs customers to “Submit a release entry,” to “Log in with FLX Rewards to secure your entry,” and to “Make sure your account and billing info is up-to-date for faster checkout on release day.” Foot Locker also flags the listing as “Excluded from discount” and enforces a “Limit one per person,” with “Available entry options: Store pickup or Ship to me.” For buyers who miss the initial run, the launch briefing points to resale platforms: “Online shoppers who miss the drop will be able to find the performance basketball shoes on trusted sneaker resale websites like StockX and GOAT.”

Not all outlets use the same color name. Si, Sneaker Bar Detroit, Foot Locker and the initial report call the tone “Blush,” while Sneaktorious labels it “Pink” and runs a key facts table listing “Color: Pink/Pink” and “Hype: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (5/5).” Sneaktorious also noted that “Official images for the Converse SHAI 001 ‘Pink’ have finally surfaced! 🌸 The pair is officially set to release on March 12th via Converse and select retailers.”

Expect demand to mirror the hype: a performance-minded construction wrapped in a runway-ready, single-tone shell. Given the $130 price point, Nike Zoom Air hardware and SGA’s visible debut at Madison Square Garden, the SHAI 001 looks positioned to sell quickly on March 12 and to generate immediate post-drop activity on StockX and GOAT.
