The Converse Weapon, once an influential player in basketball footwear, first gained popularity in the 1980s with endorsements from legends such as Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Though the sneaker subsequently lost ground to advancements from other brands, like the famed Air Jordan 1, the Weapon's history has been revived in recent years.
Converse reintroduced this iconic silhouette in 2023, combining retro appeal with contemporary collaborations. A Ma Maniere, recognized for its opulent and deliberate design approach, reimagined the Converse Weapon Low for the brand's tenth anniversary “While You Were Sleeping” line.
The Converse X A Ma Maniere Weapon retains the sneaker's origins while combining it with luxury materials and A Ma Maniere's trademark aesthetic—the top is made of fine leather and suede, with cream shades defining the leather toebox and midsole.
The Weapon's signature Y-strap is recreated in Sail suede, with A Ma Maniere marking elegantly debossed into the material for a polished touch. Tan suede is used on the mudguard and tongue, which contrasts nicely with the Chevron star emblem on the midsole. Inside, the footwear is lined with a light mauve sock liner and finished with a quilted pattern that adds to A Ma Maniere's signature opulent feel.
The sneaker boasts a white midsole combined with a robust dark rubber outsole. The Converse X A Ma Maniere shoes will be delivered in a special edition AMM WYWS collectors box with three lace options.
The complimentary apparel collection features comparable color palette like the Converse x A Ma Maniere Weapon sneakers. The brands' insignia accentuates the sweatshirt, jacket, sweatpants, and t-shirt.
In addition to Converse Weapon, A Ma Maniere also partnered with Nike and Jordan Brand to celebrate its tenth anniversary. The fashion brand reimagined popular models including Air Jordan 3, Air Force 1, Air Max 95, and more models from two stated sneaker brands to offer its celebratory “While You Were Sleeping” range. These sneakers were already released in the previous weeks of 2024.
