FAQs
What makes the Converse SHAI 001 unique?
It's a signature shoe collaboration with NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, designed to balance comfort, containment, durability, and style for both basketball and off-court wear.
What type of cushioning is used?
These trainers feature a Nike Zoom Air Unit, which provides responsive cushioning for impact absorption and energy return.
How do I clean these trainers?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and use a brush for the outsole. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
While the rubber outsole provides durability and traction, they are primarily designed with indoor court performance in mind. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may affect longevity.
What is the closure system?
These trainers feature a zip closure for a secure and quick fastening, along with traditional laces for a customized fit.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from Nylon, featuring a puffed molded design for structure and containment.
What is the main benefit of the radial underfoot traction?
It is designed to offer reliable grip and stability during quick movements and changes in direction on the court.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during first wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the zip closure is correctly fastened.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris. The radial underfoot traction is optimized for basketball courts; performance may vary on other surfaces.
Zip closure is difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing it. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper track. A small amount of zipper lubricant might help if the issue persists.
