Jack Purcell : A Classic Revived

I was in Hong Kong a couple of months ago and was surprised to see a lot of stores carrying the classic Jack Purcell sneaker by Converse. On my last day, I picked up a copy of my favorite Hong Kong magazine, Milk, so that I could update myself with the trends that were going to be popping up in 2006. To my surprise, a whole page was dedicated to the Jack Purcell sneaker and different artists and fashion houses were reinventing it. Some notable ones included Mihara Yasuhiro, Comme Des Garcons, and Undercover. These collaborations may excite or appall you, but rest assured, the Jack Purcell's classic look is still retained.
