A Closer Look at the Converse ‘Shai Weapon’…

When approaching the Shai Weapon, Converse aimed to craft a sneaker that feels like a one-of-a-kind find from a retro thrift shop. Flaunting an intentionally weathered design that includes a worn-looking outsole and artfully cracked leather, the exterior fully affirms a lived-in feel. 

Sporting a Vintage White premium leather upper, highlighted by soft Winsome Orchid accents on the Star Chevron and collar, the Shai Weapon is a modern day blast-from-the-past. Striking the perfect balance between vintage charm and modern flair, an exposed tongue foam and a pastel yellow midsole and outsole rounds off the silhouette.
