Following a series of collaborations with fragment design, UNDEFEATED and Kasina, the Converse Weapon and the low-cut Weapon Ox officially return to the brand’s lineup on the eve of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.

Converse originally launched the Weapon in 1986, and it was the preeminent sneaker of choice for stars of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Now, releasing the Weapon and Weapon Ox in their original material composition and form, Converse is reintroducing the silhouettes to the next generation. Both models feature leather uppers, Star Chevron underlays, egret cup soles and outsoles, and the Weapon’s signature Y-bar. The Weapon was re-crafted in 2020 as part of Converse’s CX line, created with an updated CX foam midsole. It was also reinterpreted by Rick Owens as the TURBOWPN in 2021.

At the helm of the revived Converse Weapon is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the All-NBA first team point guard and two-time All-Star who stars in a campaign inspired by the original 1986 “Choose Your Weapon” ads. He’s carrying the proverbial torch from the stars of the ’80s who plied their trade in the Weapon and ushering in the next chapter of the silhouette’s storied legacy. 

The Weapon arrives in its original colorways, black and natural ivory, as well as vintage white, ash stone and egret. The Weapon Ox appears in white and black, and vintage white and vintage cargo. Both silhouettes release February 8 on converse.com and at select retailers.
