Following its collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov, New Era has teamed up with Converse for the Weapon Suede OX NE release. Launching on August 22 at ¥15,400 JPY (around $104 USD), the sneaker debuts in a navy and white colourway that blends basketball heritage with contemporary streetwear style. Crafted from premium navy suede, the design draws inspiration from New Era’s signature 59FIFTY baseball caps. The low-cut profile offers enhanced mobility for daily wear, while an off-white vintage outsole delivers both traction and a nostalgic visual contrast. Co-branded detailing on the tongue and insole underscores the partnership’s dual roots in sport and fashion.
Details that Honour the 1986 Converse Weapon
The sneaker maintains the original 1986 Converse Weapon’s court-ready structure and stability, now adapted for lifestyle use. Its premium suede upper, paired with the clean navy and white palette, ensures versatility from casual outfits to elevated looks. An embroidered New Era flag on the left heel adds a subtle nod to the brand’s headwear legacy. This careful balance of heritage cues and modern design elements positions the Weapon Suede OX NE as a refined yet wearable addition to both sneaker rotations and streetwear collections.
