Kicks Clasics - Converse Weapon '86 Returns

Oh hell yeah!!!  I never thought that Converse would drop the original Weapons one more time but it's happening in Spring '09.  I've seen a few random versions of the Weapons over the past few years with crazy bright colors or just color combos that I wasn't feeling in general and just never had the urge to pick some up.  I think I almost bought a pair on sale at Marshall's for like $20 that were all bright green.  They would have been hot for a Celtics game but they were super obnoxious.  I should have pulled the trigger in retrospect but I only have so much dough to go around for my sneaker addiction.

Now that they are dropping the OG colorways that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson rocked back in the day, I think I can safely say that I will be coppin' and rockin' both of these hard next spring.  Even though I hate the Lakers, I will probably pick up a pair of the Yellow and Purple joints just because they look so dope.  I always thought they were just a little better than the Black and White Bird's (ducking lightning bolt from the basketball gods) because they had so much more color and style to them.  It just wasn't right to rock Magic's version back in the day in Boston, though.  It actually never even crossed my mind.  IF you could even find them locally, you would have gotten your ass kicked for trying to wear those in Beantown.  I was too loyal to my team to pull that ish.  

I am looking forward to going in to the store and being able to pick up these classics once again and take a trip down memory lane. 

It doesn't get more classic than these two commercials:
