Discover Jack Purcell Signature

John Edward "Jack" Purcell (1903-1991) lived a remarkable 87 years, during which he excelled in various endeavors. From his exceptional golf skills to becoming a world champion in badminton, and even achieving recognition in the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, Jack Parcell's achievements were truly impressive. Not only that, he also pursued a successful career as a professional broker and left his mark as a designer of a renowned sneaker. It's clear that Jack Parcell was a man who made the most of his talents and opportunities, leaving a lasting legacy.

In 1935, while still an active athlete, Purcell designed a shoe for the Canadian brand B. F. Goodrich that provided enhanced protection and support on badminton courts. That marked the beginning of what we now know as Jack Purcell, which has since become a registered trademark of Converse.

Now, let's shift our focus to the present. This season, Converse has reinterpreted this classic shoe, adding even more style and comfort. The Jack Purcell Signature that we're presenting today preserves the essence and character of its creator, but it has undergone significant technological advancements compared to the original design. This model, available in our stores and on our website, even features Nike Zoom Air technology. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the cotton laces to the leather accents on the insole, ensuring top-notch quality and exceptional comfort.

Versatility is one of the key strengths of this shoe, suitable for pairing with shorts, jeans, or even dress pants. This model offers the perfect combination for success. Once you try them on, you won't want to take them off your feet.

By wearing the entire history of Jack Purcell on your feet, you may have an extra daily motivation to strive for greater heights. Choose your favorite color and embark on a journey of style and inspiration.
