The first Undefeated for Converse Poorman Weapon shoe launched exactly one year ago today, January 24, 2009, in black. It was then followed-up with an olive version in May 2009 as UNDFTD’s celebration of US Armed Forces Day. This is the third installment of the shoe in navy that features the same bomber jacket nylon upper, removable velcro logos and orange lining. Again, the midsole carries an UNDFTD logo and the overall look is perfect. This time around the sneaker is accompanied by both a matching MA-1 Flight Jacket and Flight Helmet Bag.

The navy UNDFTD for Converse Poorman Weapon shoes launch globally on January 29, 2010.

Take a leap to read all about the project direct from the creators – Undefeated’s Eddie Cruz and Converse’s Ian Ginoza.

With so many New Era caps coming out every season by pretty much every streetwear brand in the market and also stores, it is hard to be innovative. Before we saw a new crazy design every week, trying to top what had been out there until then, now we come back to a more basic and classic design and instead we see some new materials appear on the caps, which is a movement that we find much more interesting than what was happening until then.
