Converse Weapon High “Vintage White/Navy/Egret” A09879C

The success of vintage sneaker models like the New Balance 550 not only influences purchasing habits, it inspires shoe brands to pursue the same idea. The Converse Weapon High is an OG among OGs, one of the first models to achieve true ubiquity thanks to the brand's partnership with superstar Magic Johnson. Converse announced plans to downgrade the model last fall, and we're seeing the results with pairs like the Converse Weapon High “Vintage White/Navy.”

Evoking the aesthetic of the era in which it was born, the Converse Weapon continues a series of tone-on-white colorways. It's been the main route for the shoe as of late, adding a navy option to a roster that already features salmon, burgundy, olive, and gray colorways. The full leather layout only breaks on the midsole. While conservatively applied on this shoe, the faux distressed details lean more into the retro look while they're at it.

The Converse Weapon High “Vintage White” is available now for $120 via Converse.com.

Elsewhere in the Nike family, Jordan 2024 release dates are heating up with the Air Jordan 1 “Latte” and Air Jordan 17 “Lightning” dropping within days of each other.
