This isn’t Larry Bird’s Weapon. Nor Magic’s. Designer John Varvatos put his imagination to the Cons classic and this is what resulted. Seen here in Larry’s Celtics-friendly Black/White, the JV Weapon brings an upscale, premium leather look, with old school silhouette front and center. Note the broken-in look of the laces and midsole. Out now at Concepts.
