Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Converse Weapon Is Inspired By His Love Of Vintage

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Converse Weapon Is Inspired By His Love Of Vintage

The undisputed fashion king of the NBA helped Converse usher in the Weapon back in February. Now, he’s letting his vision shine on his own spin inspired by the vintage fashion leanings.

The Shai Weapons stay true to the OG material and form of the Weapon seen in previous collaborations and in-line drops since its re-introduction earlier this year. Where his pair stands firmly distinguished is via the pre-yellowed midsoles and the cracked leather on the pink-hued panels, conjuring the experience of finding a vintage pair of 1980s Weapons at a thrift store.

A closer look at the sneakers reveal quite the contrast between the smooth, white leather used on the overlay and the deep grooves in the cracked ankle padding. With additional wear, flecks of the pink could continue to wear away, further developing that pre-loved, worn appeal.

Shai’s Converse Weapon is set to arrive at Converse.com and select retailers on August 15th, 2024 with a price-tag of $130; get a detailed look at the shoes just below and check out the Where To Buy section in order to secure yours on the scheduled release date.
