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

I’m 55, pro leathers, weapons, star techs. Converse was the gold standard back in my day.
And the Fast break high tops
“Converse weapons that’s the shoe that lets Magic do what he was born to do”😂 those that know KNOW!!!
Only 70s babies really know what the Converse Weapon meant and means 😢
My man, you are right . luckily i grew up watching 80s basketball vhs (millennial here) and i was STOKED to see them released again . copped them, wore them all day... and doubled up ❤
Not just 70s babies but also Boomers .
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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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!!!
I am 51. Love Jordan 1 and 2s, Reebok BB, Adidas Rivalry and Conductor and Forum...but the Weapon is the best sneaker ever!
💪🏿 nailed it I'll take the weapons over the air force ones any day
I'm 51 also, can't agree with you also brother.
I feel like these reboots still have some Nike bits to it. Understandably, since Nike is the parent brand.
Im 35, andi still agree 200%
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’m hoping they release the Magic Johnson ones!! I had those when I was a kid in the 80’s.
looks like they did already but only to friends and family
The weapon should be stocked for good. Best sneaker of all time! Bring back the Magic color way too Converse
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.
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+.
Yo Hes! I ran into you and your wife at Crossover and it was so cool to finally meet you. I looked up today how long I've been subscribed and I subscribed to your channel March 2012. It was a highlight to my All Star Weekend in Indy and shows how awesome life can be man!
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.
I still have an old pair of the Magic/Lakers Weapons…..hope they bring those back.
I have heard that they are going to be "family and friends" only. Its a pitty
I used to love these shoes ! Had the red and white color way back then not to mention they was only 70$ back then. Definitely grabbing these !
Got the Weapon CX and Fragments. No hype, no muss so better for true fans. That history, style and materials won me over.
I need that Mark Aguirre colorway: Stat
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.
These made a great skateboarding sneaker I used them for years in the 90s when they got marked down in price.
I've been waiting a long time for the Weapons to return 🔥
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.
We need more of this. There's a ton of sneakers that people miss out on because it doesn't have a swoosh.
Honestly, let’s keep it that way 😂
It’s better like that
Let the clowns keep Yeezys
We now need the Magic Johnson Weapons
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!
Star Techs were my first "expensive" shoe, then I had the black and white weapons. Awesome time for shoes!
Kool with that tee too :)
Yeah, those are 🔥
Hermosas!! Tengo 6 pares de Weapon: 2 pares con los colores de Lakers, 1 con los colores de Celtics, 1 blanco y verde, 1 blanco y gris y 1 blanco, naranja y azul!!
Maaaan I need those Weapons. I have the ERX-260's but the Bird man's Weapons are the best. Great shot Converse. Keep em coming.
These are dope!!!
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.
You didn’t mention the comfort and fit. 🤦🏻♂️ this could be a short.
I owned 2 pairs of those high top weapons . Very solid shoes
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. ✌️
Need those magic “laker” colors!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Dope i also cop a fresh pair 👍🏽
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.
✌🏽💙👟
Magic and Bird awesome...
Are they as narrow as chucks ? Did u size up ?
These fits TTS?
My grandfather bought me some weapons in the late 80's and I was angry... "These aren't Jordan 4s" 😂
I alway's hear about these being "released", yet I can never find them anywhere online unless some huckster is selling a pair for $275 bucks somewhere.
Is it wide feet friendly
I def wanted a pair but they didn't come in a maens size 14.
Converse was ahead of its time.
Dope
Ayyyye the Brendan Dunne cameo
Those sneaker lol hope they are more comfortable than the originals Work boot yes I owned the magic pair and the Knicks Bernard King version
They messed up the top part of the upper at the back part of the heel going so high. Plus where’s the Lakers? They were my first balling shoes.
Bruh I had every colorway I loved the yellow and red hawks colorway I still have my jacket
How is the sizing ?
True to size
I would not buy a pair of Chucks again, but that Weapon, that might work!
On the white pairs with grey, I don’t really like the vintage looking midsole. I know they did it to give it that nostalgic look, but ehh.
Just ordered the black OG pair.
💯💯💯💯
is it possible to play bball in them?
So why waste money on Jordans when this cost the same to make?
4th grade baby.
Had to have the Magic Js because they better color than the Birds
those are some decent looking Nikes
I need your tee bro
2:48 og
I am a guy and want to buy converse but i am little bit scared of what others might think when they see me wearing it
Every part of this statement is lame. Look, if you think you’re rocking it, you’re rocking it. If you think you’re geeking it, you’re geeking it. State of mind.
Wear what you want to wear. I’m 51 and still wear Jordans, also bought a pair of these. Don’t care what people think.
The best weapons were the model that followed these.
Hate what they did to the shape.
Converse erx 260 Hi
I got the erx 100 and 150 highs 🤘
“Create history, not hype” but didn’t they try to re-launch this model with a Fragment collab? 😂
Are the soles as thick as AF1 soles? I like that chunky look!
Why do they all have to have that off white /cream color 🤦🏻♂️
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.
of course you wouldn't have any cons on Cons... i been eyeballing these and i definitely need to step away from the Nikes and Jordans and these would be nice
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I thought you were talking about the new Trump Air Force 1’s! When you gonna do an unboxing on those?!
Converse is the most comfortable shoes of all time.
