After taking on the ERX-260 in March, designer Takahiro Miyashita has turned his attention to another Converse classic: the Jack Purcell.
TheSoloist.'s nod to the low-top tennis classic takes on the old American flag–inspired 'Stars and Bars' motif and applies it in two different colourways: patriotic red, white, and blue, and rebellious black/white. Both versions are capped off with a vertical zipper along the tongue to further riff on the Americana inspiration behind the designs.
Look for the collaborative kicks to drop on May 23 alongside a capsule collection of apparel.
