Here, the already comfortable Run Star Hike has become the Run Star Motion, with its sole unit gaining even more chunkiness. Next up is the Run Star Motion, which follows on from the JW Anderson-designed Run Star Hike and the in-line shoes that then came after it. There’s definitely something that is familiar in the legacy of this shoe, but it is progressive, different, bolder.” On this pair, Russell adds, “With the Weapon, the teams pushed on proportion. Familiar design elements, such as the One Star logo and lots of perforations, frequently appear throughout the shoe. ![]() Kicking things off with the Weapon CX, Converse takes the antiquated basketball silhouette (famously worn by Magic Johnson and Larry Bird) and crafts it entirely from supple leather, coupling it with a new, technical sole unit.

As Brandis Russell, VP of Footwear Development and Merchandising says, “The original intent of CX was to create an innovation suite that answered for what we were hearing from people about Converse: They loved our brand and product, but they thought we were lacking in comfort. The CX line is all about proactively listening and responding to consumers of the Converse brand. ![]()
