From celebrating love in all its forms to reimagining classic silhouettes for modern street style and pushing the boundaries of basketball innovation, Converse continues to prove why it remains at the forefront of self-expression and culture.
This season, the spotlight shines on the playful Chucks in Love collection, the minimalist versatility of the Chuck Taylor Lo, and the duality of style and performance with Converse x Shai SHAI 001 colorways: ‘Ares Gray’ and ‘Clean Slate.’ Each collection offers a unique take on Converse DNA, blending design innovation with the brand’s timeless spirit.
Celebrate All Forms of Love This Valentine’s Day With Chucks in Love
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance. For Spring 2026, Converse celebrates love in all its forms with the Chucks in Love collection, honoring romantic connections, close friendships, family bonds, and everyday self-love through playful, expressive design.
Built on classic Chuck DNA, the collection introduces heart-shaped detailing, embroidered text, statement stitching, quirky shoe charms, and bold, feel-good patterns that add personality to timeless silhouettes. Each pair stays true to the icon’s heritage while offering thoughtful updates designed to spark joy and self-expression in everyday wear.
The lineup spans adults’ and kids’ styles, making it easy to gift, match, or treat yourself. From elevated platform styles to easy-on options for little ones, every design balances comfort and character, ensuring love is on display from every angle, whether it’s worn on a casual day out or styled as a Valentine’s statement.
New SHAI 001 Colorways
Converse Basketball continues its evolution with two new SHAI 001 colorways, reinforcing the shoe’s dual role as a performance-first basketball silhouette and a style-forward statement. Designed in collaboration with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, each release reflects his influence as both elite athlete and Creative Director of Converse Basketball.

ARES GRAY tells a deeply personal story, named after Shai’s son and inspired by the gray hue of his eyes. The tonal execution mirrors Shai’s fluid, adaptable game, balancing subtle contrast with clean, sculpted lines. Signature Shai branding appears on the tongue and insole, while the Converse Star Chevron grounds the design at the heel. Engineered for performance, the SHAI 001 features radial traction for multidirectional control, responsive forefoot Zoom Air, and an over-lasted midsole for low, connected stability.

CLEAN SLATE introduces a crisp, triple-white execution rooted in themes of renewal and fresh beginnings. Minimal by design and bold in intent, the colorway strips the silhouette back to its essentials, serving as a canvas for reinvention. Like every SHAI 001, it is built for movement on and off the court, combining precision performance technology with a refined, modern aesthetic. The Converse SHAI 001 CLEAN SLATE launches on February 14 at 10:00 AM Philippine time.
Together, these colorways deepen the connection between Shai and Converse while reinforcing the brand’s role in shaping modern basketball culture, championing individuality, creativity, and a new way to do sport. Both SHAI 001 colorways are available exclusively at Converse Glorietta and select Foot Locker branches.
A Fresh Low-Profile Take on the Chuck Taylor Lo
The Chuck Taylor Lo introduces a streamlined, low-profile silhouette that offers a new perspective on the iconic Chuck. Drawing from Converse’s heritage and sports-style pedigree, the design pairs clean lines and modern proportions with timeless details that define the Chuck legacy.
Built for versatility, the Chuck Taylor Lo features a double-lasted outsole that hugs the ground for a sleek, grounded stance. Beneath its refined exterior, concealed comfort layers, including a lightweight foam midsole and sculpted sockliner, support all-day wear. Premium materials, such as suede uppers and padded leather heel collars, add subtle texture and depth to the silhouette.
Signature Chuck elements remain intact, from the rubber toe cap and winged stitching to All-Star branding at the heel and tongue. Finished with punched eyelets, an overaged eyelet row, and two sets of laces for customizable styling, the Chuck Taylor Lo offers a quieter, more minimal expression of self-expression, designed to move seamlessly from everyday wear to nights out.
From expressive Valentine’s styles to refined streetwear silhouettes and performance-driven basketball innovation, Converse’s Spring 2026 lineup reflects a brand that continues to evolve while staying rooted in its heritage. Across every collection, Converse invites wearers to move, express, and define style on their own terms.
Converse is available in Powerplant mall, select Ayala Malls, SM Malls, Robinsons Department Stores. For more information, visit www.converse.ph.
