This isn’t ‘86, ‘99 or ‘14. This is the Converse
Weapon for today. Classic look. Modern comfort.
Creating history. Not hype.
“Bird and Magic have chosen their weapons. Now choose yours.”
Originally launched in 1986, the Converse Weapon was an instant hit thanks to its trademark leather uppers, Star Chevron underlays, egret cupsoles and outsoles, and the signature Y-bar. Legends such as Isaiah Thomas, Kevin McChale, Bernard King and Mark Aguirre all got buckets in these back in the day.
Arriving in low and high versions, the Converse Weapon has
the look of the original with next-level CX comfort.
STREET HEAT
Hardwood legend, the Converse Weapon, gets a street-ready refresh. Durability and comfort join forces for an easy-to-wear look that's ready to team up with all your 'fits.
*WHY YOU SHOULD BE DOWN*
- A durable, leather upper, with the look and feel of the original hardwood icon
- CX foam cushioning helps provide next-level comfort
- A traction rubber outsole helps offer optimal grip
- A Star Chevron reps the legacy of sport and street style
- SKU: A04400C
Pros:
Looks Like the OG colorway
Iconic
Launched in 86, 38 years later the style is still A+.
Bringing SGA into the promotion is smart.
Leather quality for $120 sneaker is solid.
Build quality is very good, walked around in the INDY snow for in these!
Like the idea of create history not hype
Cons:
None, its history, quality, and a great all around product

The weapons were my first pair of nice shoes that sparked my sneaker craze back in 03-04 I think . I learned how good a sneaker compliment could be in 6th grade and it was a wrap ever since. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

These are absolute fire! Been wanting these since I was 13 and saw these in foreign tv commercials. Only knew Larry Bird from the Commodore 64 game one on one😄 Can't believe I finaly got a pair and the quality and comfort is awesome! Absolute bargain at 120 euro's. Love these and the only sneaker I would love more is the Laker colorway of the Weapon.

I was born in 2002 therefore I am part of Gen Z but I will always remember my father showing me when I was a child a picture of Larry Bird playing in a pair of what I didn't know at the time were Converse Weapons

Yea!!! Im a millennial but i had tons of vhs from the 80s and when i saw the weapons out i had to grt one for nostalgia... then i found out they are akso ultra comfortable!!!

The weapon should be stocked for good. Best sneaker of all time! Bring back the Magic color way too Converse

@GLHS592 5 ай бұрын

When I saw Converse had re-released the Weapon, I had to buy a pair. I've waited a long time for a new pair of Weapons. I had a pair of black Weapon high tops back in the day. I don't remember them being super comfortable and these are no different. The leather on the new ones is far superior to the old ones. I love the look and I'm glad I bought them. If I'm going to do a lot of walking, these Weapons are staying in my closet.

@andrew1542 4 ай бұрын

Probably my favorite basketball sneaker of all time!!! I had a pair of these when they originally released in 1986.. I was 16 years old. The Boston Celtics are my favorite team and Larry Bird was my favorite player so I had to have these to play hoops in.. and I’m so excited that Converse is bringing these classic sneakers back! Nice review BTW.

@pinapple9999 5 ай бұрын

These are the ones I wanted instead of the other CX foam Weapons they released way earlier but the platforms grew on me because of how comfortable they are. Also the leather on classic chevron converse are always A+.

I played on my junior high basketball team 1986 to 1989, and our school colors copied the Celtics. Everyone wanted the green and white or black and white Weapons. My parents would say, "No way we're paying $100 for sneakers!" Now I can finally have a pair!

@fseb233 5 ай бұрын

grew up always wanting these till I saw the Jordan 1's.... needless to say I bought them now as an adult to re live my youth and they do not disappoint. Much more comfortable and higher quality than Jordan 1's. The white isn't white though. It's like sand or off white or aged white. But very cool looking and comfy to boot. I had to go a full size down from my typical Nike size.

@wade_county 5 ай бұрын

We need more of this. There's a ton of sneakers that people miss out on because it doesn't have a swoosh.

I seen an old white man who looked to be in his 80's at Whataburger in front of me wearing these but all black. And i was like to myself "this old man knows whats up." He was fly AF, not even dudes half is age know whats up. Most dudes half his age dress like boring nerds. ✌️

I had the Steelers color version back in the day. They are great street b balling shoes. The grip is insane. Top tier for sure. Thanks for the vid.

Just got my pair, black as well, and I LOVE them. Been waiting for a retro of these og classic pairs for a while and I’m more than satisfied. Like seriously, $120 got me Superb leather and comfy interior padding and lining. Meanwhile my Jordan 1s and 4s leather doesn’t even come close to the Weapon’s leather quality, and Jordan retros cost $180 - $225. Do better Jordan brand, do better.

I’ve been talking to people leading to the release. adidas created the leather Bball shoe and figured out how to play in them without tearing through the toebox. Converse leaned in hard. I rocked these way back. I rode BMX in them. They were bulletproof. ‘Still looks hard in 2024. ✌🏽💙👟

Stupid 'aging' to make new sneakers look old. Hate that they make the white leather a tan color. In a few years, people are going to wonder what people were thinking buying new shoes with yellowing rubber and discolored leather.
