Converse - Poor Man's Weapon

I saw these in a sneaker mag a month or so back while in the city and I thought, wow, that's actually a pretty clever idea.

The shoes take the concept of military bomber jackets from the materials all the way down to the removable patches. Back in past wars, when a solider was captured, they could rip off their patches and swap them out for something else so that the enemy wouldn't torture them based on their rank or affiliation.


The Converse kicks play off that idea and come with several velcro patches that the owner can swap around, including an embroidered patch that says "War Is Big Business".

Exclusively available at UNDFTD and select shops.
