The Jack Purcell has well and truly established its credentials as a menswear mainstay. So what do you do to celebrate the 80th birthday of a classic? Well, Converse has stayed true to the character of the footwear and refreshed it in the most tasteful way possible, with the Jack Purcell Signature. Like a heritage building, the iconic exterior remains largely untouched. But the interior? It’s been fully renovated with all mod cons, including Nike-assisted technology. The result: the most premium Jack Purcell to date. There is a whole raft of new features (18, to be precise), so we decided that the best way to put the updated sneaker through its paces was with a brand new shoot. Have a flick through it, above.
