The Converse Weapon sneaker is making a grand return to its original 1986 design in a brand-new collaboration with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment. This iconic sneaker previously reappeared in 2021 as part of the Converse CX line and was featured in a TURBODRK collaboration with Rick Owens.
The Converse x FRGMT Weapon sneaker features a full leather upper, color-blocking on the Y-bar, collar underlay, Star Chevron logo underlay, and toe box. The fragment design logo is debossed on the lateral heel cap, showcasing the design house’s signature understated branding. Retaining the silhouette’s original form, a leather woven tongue includes an original Converse Weapon-branded label and terry cloth lining.
The collaboration stays true to both fragment’s signature aesthetic and the Weapon’s classic form, with the capsule delivering a minimalistic approach that emphasizes the iconic Sport Royal blue and black color-blocking scheme. Accompanying the sneakers, the apparel capsule includes a wool varsity jacket, french terry hoodie, and two loose-fit jersey tees.
The highly anticipated Converse x FRGMT Weapon sneaker collaboration is set to be released on May 11, making sneaker enthusiasts eager to get their hands on this iconic design. Mark your calendars and get ready to secure your pair from converse.com or select retail partners, as this limited global release is expected to be in high demand.
