In celebration of their 100th Anniversary, Converse reissued their fabled Pro Leather ’76 in a form and with materials that matched the original release back when Dr. J was putting on a clinic on the hardwood. In ’09, the brand is set to release the 1986 Converse Weapon, a high-rising model sported by Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and a slew of other Cons-sponsored athletes in a material-similar format. Expect the Weapon to hit Converse’s online design studio, ConverseOne, too! If these are done up correctly, words cannot describe how excited I’ll be! Who’s with me?

I don’t understand why didn’t converse release the weapons during the NBA Finals. That would have made a lot of sense.
