This time, we focus on the high-cut model of the Converse ” Jack Purcell” and introduce its charm and recommended models!

What is Jack Purcell, the classic low-tech sneaker loved for nearly a century?

The Jack Purcell is a sneaker representing Converse that was born in 1932. In fact, the Jack Purcell model was not a Converse product from the beginning, but rather a badminton shoe created by the Spalding Company, then known as A.G. SPALDING & BROS. The model was named after John Edward Jack Purcell, a legendary badminton champion who was involved in its development. The “smile” toe detail was already in place in 1935. In 1972, Converse purchased the rights to manufacture and sell the Jack Purcell, and the Jack Purcell became part of the Converse lineup.

Since then, the Jack Purcell has expanded its name recognition while maintaining the same details, and has gained such popularity that it is now considered a representative model of Converse along with the All Star. Superstars of yesteryear such as Steve McQueen, James Dean, and Kurt Cobain also loved these shoes. The practical and simple design is the same as the All Star, but it is not as standardized as the All Star, which is worn by men and women of all ages, and tends to be chosen by fashionable people.
