Bodega x Converse Poorman Weapon
Bodega and Converse linked up once again, but this time for a collaborative project on the Poorman Weapon. A lot of thought was put into the design process of the Bodega Poorman Weapon. For example, the kicks feature a waxed canvas upper, deerskin lining, comes is a custom ballistic nylon case, and these high-top sneakers can be worn rolled down. Bodega’s Poorman Weapon drops Saturday, March 13th for $120. Limited to only 100 sets.
Bodega and Converse have once again joined forces – this time to re-imagine the Poorman Weapon as a sophisticated beast yet unseen by the world. Transforming the original silhouette into a super high-top that can be worn rolled down, the focus of this project was to achieve harmony between the chosen materials. An extra high refined waxed canvas upper is paired with a supple deerskin lining to make this Poorman’s Weapon seem not quite so poor.
The natural properties of deerskin leather shine with its extremely high strength and resistance to abrasion. Generally used for motorcycle gloves, deerskin’s unique fiber structure keeps you cool at high noon and warm as night falls. The charcoal colorway keeps this forward thinking shoe toned down, while a gusseted tongue and waxed laces combined with the leather’s inherent water repellent qualities keep it an all weather shoe.
This shoe is being released Saturday March 13, 11AM at Bodega (online at bdgastore.com on March 13, at noon) and will come in a custom ballistic nylon case lined with shearling. An etched flask will be included for those over 21 years of age. This pack retails for $120, is limited to 100 sets and contains all the elements necessary for surviving the long winter and wet spring.
These are very dope, I just have one question. “This shoe is being released Saturday March 13, 11AM at Bodega (online at bdgastore.com on March 13, at noon)” What timezone is it referring to? If it is obvious which one it is and I’m just an idiot, sorry for that…
.
I want to see Converse King’s thoughts on these.
Dope shoe one of the only converse ive felt for a while beside chucks foots too big for em lol
i’m liking these. and @jedi, that’s east coast time because bodega is in boston. so 9 on the west coast, 10 in the mountains (or wherever that time zone is), and 11 central time.
@BigfootNJ… I’m an idiot, thanks for pointing out the obvious for me. I surprise myself sometimes…
Bodega is in Boston. I live near Boston, check.
-
I like Converse, a lot. These happen to be Converse, check.
-
I’ve been eyeballing Converse ridiculously hi-tops for a while, thinking they’re too feminine. These however, aren’t, check.
-
The materials seem top notch, the color is right, and the packaging is also cool. Not to mention that I’m over 21, like booze, and this comes with a flask. Check.

Final verdict: 4/4, I will be there on Saturday to cop these. How could I not, I’m the Converse King! Glad I didn’t go out of my way for the eggplant foams.
^Haha, well said, CK.
Also, I’m a big fan of the poorman’s weapon, and I don’t have any of the UNDFTD releases, because there’s no UNDFTD in Boston.
Thanks G-Roc.
