Engineered Garments and Converse are reconnecting with a fresh take on the Converse Weapon. The collaboration arrives nearly ten years after their last project, bringing the retro basketball model back through a refined lifestyle lens.
The collection includes two colorways inspired by the Converse Weapon’s original 1986 campaign. One pair nods to Magic Johnson with a Vintage White and Yellow “Lakers” palette. The other keeps things cleaner in black and white, tying back to Larry Bird’s side of the classic NBA rivalry.
Engineered Garments adds its signature touch through updated hardware instead of heavy redesign work. Velcro straps appear across the forefoot and heel, giving the low-top Weapon a new layered look while still fitting the shoe’s vintage basketball shape. The added details feel natural on the silhouette and help separate this release from standard retro drops.
The Engineered Garments Converse Weapon collection releases May 1, 2026 on Converse.com. Each pair will retail for $145 USD, making this a strong pickup for fans of archival basketball sneakers and understated designer collaborations.
