Known in the contemporary sneaker scene for their highly acclaimed Nike Dunk collaboration in 2020, South Korea's Kasina is now bringing its unique storytelling to a Converse classic.
In its latest collaborative effort, Kasina is set to revisit one of Converse's most iconic sneakers, the Weapon, transforming it into a canvas that narrates the retailer's origins.
The design of the Kasina x Converse Weapon is steeped in personal history, paying homage to Kasina's very first store. The sneaker features a variety of sketches and markings that reflect the original, hand-drawn blueprints and the construction process of the retailer’s flagship location. This narrative is not merely about aesthetics but also about the boldness needed to turn visions into reality.
This partnership symbolizes a fusion of streetwear culture and heritage, with Kasina imprinting its identity onto the storied silhouette of the Converse Weapon. It's a story of beginnings, creativity, and the courage to pursue one’s own ideas encapsulated in a shoe design.
Take a look at the official images of the pair below, and expect to see pairs hit both Converse.com and Nike.com on November 16th for $140.
