Back in the 1935, legendary Canadian badminton champion Jack Purcell was undefeated worldwide — and increasingly frustrated with the quality of badminton footwear. In designing his own athletic shoe, Purcell created a canvas and rubber sneaker with a signature "smile" across its toe — a now-iconic celebration of personal style and casual refinement.

This is the iconic Converse Jack Purcell sneaker that has fundamentally gone unchanged since the 1930s. It has a durable canvas upper, canvas lining and removable EVA insert for comfort and medial-side air vent holes for breathability. Featuring traditional metal eyelets, a rubber-wrapped midsole, classic light-blue rubber outsole, and unmistakable toe cap smile, it’s easy to see why the Jack Purcell look has stood the test of time.

Features:

• Iconic look, sophisticated comfort
• Durable canvas upper
• Removable EVA insert for comfort
• Rubber outsole for durable traction
• Unmistakable Jack Purcell smile on the toe cap
• Medial eyelets enhance airflow
