Converse Loaded Weapon
Originally Launched: 2003
Reason for Controversy: Name
The Converse Loaded Weapon caught heat for the violent connotations surrounding its name. Releasing on the heels of gun crimes involving NBA players, the named was deemed insensitive by some. Converse cited the heritage of the original Weapon for the naming, attributing the ?loaded? title to the shoe?s new cushioning system. Converse stood by their stance and the model went on to release.
