Converse Weapon Concepts St. Patrick's Day

Boston’s Concepts sneaker boutique teamed up with Converse for the Concepts x Converse CONS Weapon "St. Patrick’s Day" in 2015. The Converse Weapon originated in the 1980’s and became famous due to the unforgettable "Magic versus Bird" commercials. As one of Converse’s most popular basketball sneakers of all time, the Weapon was also the shoe of choice for other NBA stars like Isiah Thomas, Mark Agguire, Bernard King and others, with each player wearing a colorway tied to his team’s uniform. The Concepts version of the Weapon was a partnership with the CONS division of Converse, which is the team that handles the skate shoes. As the name suggests, this colorway of the Converse Weapon was done up for St. Patrick’s Day and featured the traditional green that’s associated with the holiday, along with black on the upper and a white midsole. On the inside, a Lunarlon insole provides additional cushioning specific to the CONS Weapon. As with most CNCPTS collabs, the Concepts x Converse CONS Weapon "St. Patrick’s Day" sold out quickly when it released on March 14th and you can bet many were laced up the following day to celebrate with the shamrocks and shenanigans associated with the leprechaun’s holiday.
