Converse knows what you want, and they know that for spring / summer 2010, you want boat shoes that smile – you want Jack Purcells. It’s a mashup, like playing Lady Gaga on top of Journey, except this time it’s two American classics that get combined – the Jack Purcell’s comfort and reliability with the style and seasonal appeal of the boat shoe. Converse doesn’t go crazy, going with simple twill uppers for breathability and that sense of familiarity that comes with Converse.
