Here are your dope kicks for the summer, courtesy of Converse's Jack Purcell brand and Undefeated. Boasting a white, black and a limited-edition red version, Converse First String will serve as a limited-edition summertime Jack Purcell collection for fans of the brands along with casual shoes for lounging at a cookout or for that late night drink with the crew. The following are words by a suit from Converse.
“We are excited to collaborate with Undefeated for the first time on the Jack Purcell shoe. The Jack Purcell began as a humble badminton shoe, yet it has evolved to symbolize confidence, wit and style— likewise, Undefeated is rooted in sport and has come to represent its own brand of smart, refined street style that is recognized globally.” -- Magnus Wedhammar, General Manager Footwear, Converse.
The limited-edition kicks will be available in a white, black or red canvas upper through Undefeated stores, as well as select retailers of Converse at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $55. This is an easy cop for a low price; get your summer kick game right. Photos are below the links, and enjoy your pertinent reading material for Wednesday.
