Converse continues to push boundaries by joining forces with London-based label A-COLD-WALL. This partnership showcases the revival of the iconic Converse Weapon Ox, a low-top counterpart to the 1986-born Weapon silhouette. With its rich history and industrial design aesthetic, A-COLD-WALL breathes new life into this up-and-coming model, creating a coveted offering for footwear enthusiasts.
The Converse Weapon Ox, once a celebrated basketball shoe, now undergoes a transformative journey under the creative direction of A-COLD-WALL*. Draped entirely in a crinkled grey nylon and suede canvas, the shoe explores a captivating interplay of materials. The vibrant red lining adds a subtle yet striking contrast, while the brand’s signature design choices are evident in the reduced eyelets, now limited to just three on each side.
The collaboration seamlessly blends the Converse logo with A-COLD-WALL*’s distinctive touch, creating a harmonious fusion of styles. The Converse logo is elegantly split in two on the quarter, and co-branded detailing adorns the tongue, quarter, and medial suede heel paneling, leaving an indelible mark on the shoe’s identity.
