Grinmore to Host Exclusive Converse SHAI 001 “Butter” Launch

NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is bringing his first Converse signature sneaker home to Oklahoma City. The Converse SHAI 001 “Butter” will be available exclusively at Grinmore, marking a major moment for both the player and the city he represents.

To celebrate the release, Grinmore will host a special in-store event on Saturday, September 13th, starting at 10 a.m. The day will include much more than just the sneaker launch—guests can look forward to exclusive apparel drops, live DJs, food, a NBA 2K26 tournament, giveaways, and a few additional surprises planned by the retailer.

The Converse SHAI 001 “Butter” carries the same refined aesthetic that Shai has become known for, balancing performance-ready details with lifestyle appeal. This drop not only highlights Converse’s commitment to pushing signature basketball sneakers forward, but also underlines the strong connection between Shai and the Oklahoma City community.

With energy already building around this debut, Grinmore’s event is set to be a big moment for sneaker fans in OKC. The Converse SHAI 001 “Butter” will be available exclusively in-store at Grinmore beginning September 13th.
