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 ❤
Right out of college, didn’t have 10 cents but we drove from Worcester, MA to Converse Outlet in Malden and got 2 pairs w a buddy. Barely had gas $ and $ for cheap beer! But we found $ for these 🏀👍
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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!!
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.
You can get these for $45 on the website with the code they are offering. In the $30 range if you sign up. I'm just wondering if I have to go a half size up due to my wide feet.
When I bought my shattered backboards in Hawaii, I disassembled the box and put it in my luggage…worked like a charm. I wonder if these run true to size or small…🤔
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!
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.
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!!
I got a couple pairs this past Cyber Monday for $29.00 each including tax....Super deal of the year.....I always liked the Weapon in black and white over the Air Jordans....The Jordans with their red and white colors just remind me of The Wizard of Oz and Dorothy's ruby red slippers.🤣🤣🤣
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. ✌🏽💙👟
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.
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. 💯💯💯💯
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.
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
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.
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!!!
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%
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 weapon should be stocked for good. Best sneaker of all time! Bring back the Magic color way too Converse

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

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
Got the Weapon CX and Fragments. No hype, no muss so better for true fans. That history, style and materials won me over.

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
I need that Mark Aguirre colorway: Stat
We now need the Magic Johnson Weapons

Converse was ahead of its time.
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 !
Just purchased the Larry Bird pair for $42 dollars off the converse website. 😎
Same! $49 with shipping and taxes. Always wanted the shoe but didn't wanna pay way over $100
Sale ended today lol back to $70 without taxes

Star Techs were my first "expensive" shoe, then I had the black and white weapons. Awesome time for shoes!
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.

I've been waiting a long time for the Weapons to return 🔥
I've just bought a pair in the Larry colorway and for 120 euros, these blow any Jordan 1 out of the park, in price/quality ratio.
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.
✌🏽💙👟
Need those magic “laker” colors!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
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.
How is the sizing ?
True to size
These made a great skateboarding sneaker I used them for years in the 90s when they got marked down in price.
is it possible to play bball in them?
Are they as narrow as chucks ? Did u size up ?
You didn’t mention the comfort and fit. 🤦🏻♂️ this could be a short.
Is it wide feet friendly
I owned 2 pairs of those high top weapons . Very solid shoes
You could’ve described the material and feel of the inner lining and sole.
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.
These fits TTS?
I def wanted a pair but they didn't come in a maens size 14.
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.
I would not buy a pair of Chucks again, but that Weapon, that might work!
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
Magic and Bird awesome...
Bruh I had every colorway I loved the yellow and red hawks colorway I still have my jacket
My grandfather bought me some weapons in the late 80's and I was angry... "These aren't Jordan 4s" 😂
Dope i also cop a fresh pair 👍🏽
Ayyyye the Brendan Dunne cameo
Kool with that tee too :)
Yeah, those are 🔥
4th grade baby.
Had to have the Magic Js because they better color than the Birds
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.
💯💯💯💯
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.
Converse are cool if people don’t think so, they aren’t cool
These are dope!!!
those are some decent looking Nikes
$38 today on Converse website with new email 😢
I need your tee bro
The best weapons were the model that followed these.
Dope
All that yapping and no sizing info thumbs down smh.
“Create history, not hype” but didn’t they try to re-launch this model with a Fragment collab? 😂
Converse erx 260 Hi
I got the erx 100 and 150 highs 🤘
2:48 og
So why waste money on Jordans when this cost the same to make?
Are the soles as thick as AF1 soles? I like that chunky look!
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
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.
Why do they all have to have that off white /cream color 🤦🏻♂️
Hate what they did to the shape.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
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.
