We can safely say that Jack Purcell is the only famous badminton player we’ve ever heard of. That’s partly because he also happened to design an iconic shoe we’re more than familiar with and partly because we can’t watch a sport that uses the term “shuttlecock” without giggling like school girls. Converse has now taken his style legacy a step further. The inaugural Jack Purcell Collection includes both sneakers and pieces of classic clothing that have a modern twist to them. It’s all about reinterpreted classics that still offer that timeless quality of closet staples you never get rid of.
