    Converse Weapon Evo. A reinterpretation of the original Converse Weapon from 1984, the EVO mixes a more classic basketball upper on a modern technical chassis. The EVO is the first product to use the Converse Balls cushioning system which was developed for this model. It is also the first performance basketball model to return to the Star Chevron logo. In 2008 this new design direction, technology, and branding spreads to the rest of the collection.
