Edgy designer John Varvatos worked alongside frequent partner Converse for the August 2014 release of the John Varvatos Weapon Mid Black/White sneaker. A reconstructed version of the popular Magic Johnson and Larry Bird model, the shoe features a leather upper with paneled overlays. The shoe is stabilized with an external and internal Y-bar with memory foam for balanced support. Underfoot lies a soft marbled EVA sockliner for cushioned comfort.
