Following itsnew collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov,New Era®is continuing its collaborative streak withConverse. Starring theWeaponSuede OX NE silhouette, the sneaker centers on a navy and white color combo — a refined take on a classic basketball silhouette, it amalgamates heritage design cues with contemporary streetwear sensibilities.
Crafted from premium navy blue suede, the upper draws inspiration from New Era's iconic59FIFTYbaseball caps, lending the shoe a tactile richness and visual depth. The low-cut profile enhances mobility and everyday wearability, while the off-white vintage-style outsole provides reliable traction and a nostalgic contrast to the deep navy tones. Co-branded elements on the tongue and insole reinforce the collaboration's dual legacy in sport and style.
The sneaker retains the structural integrity of the original 1986 Converse Weapon, known for its court-ready support and stability, now reimagined for lifestyle use. An embroidered New Era flag logo on the left heel adds a subtle nod to headwear culture, while the clean navy and white colorway ensures versatility across casual and elevated looks.
