This guy has been out on a court a bit last season… but it drops this August. A little pre intro on Stack.com… check out this dork explaining it… the camera ads 10 pounds so easy on me…
and oddly enough after looking for some new shoes online for over an hour earlier today, I pretty much narrowed it down to another shoe with EVO in the name
agreed… how did you pull that off?!? we cant even present a name that is even close to anything with a connotation like that without people shouting “objection!”.
looks nice though, not too modern of a take on the classic shoe. Oh and props for throwing Bernard King in the mix.
Very cool Yo, I think the converse balls tech is a great idea. Very much a “progressive spring” but low profile. I also dig the retro look, herring-bone tread!
LOL…Balls technology. I can’t believe that made it to retail. I had come up with a less refined version of this cushioning about 7 years ago and called it “SRS”. spherical response system. I could have saved myself a lot of thinking! lol sweet.
Will do, a bunch of the sketches will be in a major magazine, so will have to wait until after that date…
Huge team effort on this one, myself and Brian Kutsch on the design side, and Alex Alpert and Chris Edington on the development side, plus many others along the way.
Great work Michael…I always loved the original Weapon (I wore them when I was younger) and I have to say that I love the new restyling also…great job!!
The balls technology has been around for about 7 years. When I worked at Converse they always had to be ‘Blue Balls’ when they were exposed in a shoe!!..
The name could be worked on. ‘Balls technology’ sounds like it should be a kids shoe technology. I guess marketing was on vacation during that meeting. It should sound more ‘tech’ like, ‘Spherical Compression System’ or some other bullshit term.
YO… good job! It’s a great update to a classic shoe.
