It’s quite incredible when you look at that list of all the people who wore the shoes. Besides the Adidas Superstars/Promodels and Converse Chuck Taylors, I wonder if there is any pair of shoes that can boast having such a resume of players wearing the same shoe in the same year.
An undisputed icon. Glad to see it return in a true and pure form.

^^^ That might be an interesting inquiry. Hyperdunks might be close, but a lot of players (B-Roy) switch up models so much. There are also a lot more brands out there now, too.

^ The Hyperdunks are being worn by alot of great players, but not so many multi-All Stars/future Hall of Famers. It will be interesting to see where the Hypedunk will land itself in history.

An undisputed icon. Glad to see it return in a true and pure form.
This is not in its original form. he shoe should be all leather and that insole SUCKS!
J.KING
I have mad deadstocks from 02. This looks ok but for someone like me who had the OGs and the 1st retro…this is a farce.

Was Larrys Kicks dark green or black? Could never really tell. Nice Kicks please inform me.

^ Bird and the rest of the Celts wore Black/White kicks up until the mid 90s as I recall. Yes, they were black with white accents.
Juanlupe
Thank you. Love black and white kicks.

I remembe the commercial… Bird says “Converse made shoes for last year’s MVP”, then Magic comes out of a limo I think, and removes his warm-up pants and says “Well, Converse made shoes for this year’s MVP…” Ha, that was a good one!!!

Lovin’ these throwbacks! But I do not think these are true to form…these look like midtops and the OG’s are hightops. Still clean tho but I’d prefer the hightops.
Supreme13z
I stand corrected…the Converse website says hi but for some reason they look like mids. I think it’s the way it’s laced up.
poscogrubb
Time for a Throwback Thursday? I’d like to see how these retros stack up against the OGs… not as “high” as the OG’s, I bet. Is it me, or do the Weapons in the ads just look… taller? Nah, they ARE taller.
Hmmmm, this retro is also not all-leather, which is sucky.
But I like the Weapons enough to say I’m glad it’s being retro’d.
robin cliwet
Quality not that great.
