The Converse Weapon was worn on-court in 1986, becoming a cultural icon in basketball. Collaborating with fragment’s Hiroshi Fujiwara, the updated Converse Weapon releases May 11 with a coordinating apparel collection.
Featuring a full leather upper, the Converse x FRGMT Weapon’s color-blocking lands along the Y-bar, collar underlay, Star Chevron logo underlay and toe box. A fragment design logo is debossed on the lateral heel cap. Keeping true to the silhouette’s original form, a leather woven tongue features an original Converse Weapon-branded label and terry cloth lining.
Inspired by Converse’s legacy in sport, the shoe stays authentic to fragment’s signature aesthetic and the Weapon’s original design.
In fragment style, the shoe offers a minimal approach emphasizing its classic royal blue/black color-blocking scheme, reserved for iconic fragment collaborations.
The apparel capsule collection includes a wool varsity jacket, a French terry hoodie and two loose-fit jersey tees.
The Converse x FRGMT Weapon and apparel capsule collection will release globally on May 11 on converse.com and at select retail partners.
