Converse Jack Purcell’s recommended high-cut models with unique details!

Three notable features of Converse’s “Jack Purcell

Feature 1: “Smile design on the toe” of the Converse “Jack Purcell

One of the major differences between the All Star and the Jack Purcell, Converse’s two mainstays, is the toe design. The Jack Purcell has a single line on the toe. There are various theories as to why this design was adopted, but the most popular theory is that it was used as a design accent. The line is commonly known as a “smiley face” because it looks like a mouth with the corners of the mouth turned up when viewed from the front.

Feature 2 of “Jack Purcell” Converse “”Heel patch design with a symbolic ‘mustache'”.

The patch design on the heel is also a symbolic detail of the Jack Purcell brand. The pattern under the letters “Jack Purcell” is called “mustache” because of its shape, and the “Posture Foundation” or PF sole, which was originally developed and patented by B.F.Goodrich in 1933, is a patented technology that is used in the insole. The origin of the “mustache” design is the “Posture Foundation,” or PF sole, a patented technology that provides high cushioning and postural stability by padding the insole. The design of the mustache is said to be an illustration of the cross-sectional view of the raised sole. Incidentally, the mustache logo was not used when Jack Purcell was first introduced to the market, and although there are various theories, it began to be used extensively in advertisements around 1972.

Feature of Converse “Jack Purcell” (3) “Outsole specifications that differ greatly from those of the All Star

The reason why Jack Purcell has been loved for more than half a century is not only its universal design but also its comfort. This comfort is achieved by the aforementioned technology called posture foundation. The specifications on the back of the sole are also unique to Jack Purcell, with a logo design exclusive to B.F.Goodrich. The “slub sole,” with its nearly flat surface, is also a specification not found in today’s low-tech sneakers. In the 70’s and later, a “herringbone sole” with a wavy tread pattern was also released, but most of the Jack Purcell models available today are reissued with a scrub sole that has a more vintage look.
