Converse Jack Purcell
Grown Man Fresh!This is a change of pace from the kicks we usually have on the site. The Converse Jack Purcell has been around for a minute and those who are privy know the deal. This shoe is as classic as the Chuck Taylor with its clean look.
Grown Man Fresh!The patent leather touch to these specific ones make them perfect for a night out where you feel like cleaning up a tad bit. Definitely perfect for that date with your lil lady or if you are going to a restaurant where fries are not on the menu.
The Converse Jack Purcell is available now for $60 at Bloomingdale’s. For more info hit up www.converse.com

Dude no!
I keep it fresh to def Ian, i know how to dress ‘smart’ and how to dress casual, and i know the two should be kept well apart.
Ian im from England too, it aint the done thing over here, I know it, you know it, Coop knows it. And your argument was kinda daft. Just cos i said i dont wear converse, that means i wear sneakers?
So you dont wear sneakers? THAT means you wear slippers then…

These shoes are not that bad. I agree you shouldn’t wear these to a five star restaurant, but you can get away with it at a nice place if your outfit is right.

I think these are straight depending on the situation; some nightclubs consider these basically like dress shoes and I’ve wore chucks with a blazer and some g-star jeans to get in a club; I’d much rather wear some classic sneakers to a club than some tight joint from aldo that kill your feet;

@ CGF
I Need some help, and i think either yourself (Mr Kicks and Gear) or someone else on here can help me.
I am currently in posession of a mint condition Red Aurbach Celtics ball which, luckily, is signed by last years entire ‘chip team. Its a long story how i came by it, as i live in the UK, but it is 100% authenticated.
Times are tough, the credit crunch is biting me and i need a bit of an injection, plus, i think it would look better in some mad celtics fans room. (i am a celtics fan, but my bedroom aint green with leprachauns on the wall, put it that way).
How much does soemthing like this go for? It cost me quite a lot,(were talkin hundreds of bucks here) i got it mid season, and im assuming the ‘chip that followed would have added some value. I just wanna know what this kinda thing goes for in Boston, interest in the UK aint so hot. si it rare or has everyone got a signed KG ball?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Ian says:
sweat
i asked i wasnt being sarcastic
the reason i asked was cuz u and coop are the only two the have my kind of taste in shoes.
and yes since u did mention converse not sneakers one can assume that u like OTHER sneaker brands for resaurants. u mentioned my argument was daft?? what argument man its just a question.
i never wear sneakers unless im going to the gym of course.

These ain’t Chucks they’re Jack Purcells. Which are basically over priced Chuck look-alikes (You can get Chucks for $30). The only Converse shoe I’ve ever put on my feet is Chuck Taylor originals.

@sweet english,

Tyrone’s only post in which he is absolutely 100% correct. These kicks are probably some of the ugilest pieces of shit you have displayed on this site, and that is saying quite a bit.

Fashion is a part of culture and culture is a feature of location. In parts of the world it’s stylish to cut a hole in your lower lip and ram a hockey-puck shaped piece of wood in the hole. In other parts women wear a bunch of tight necklaces starting when they are very young to stretch their neck out like a giraffe.
In the NY metro area athletic shoes are in many circles considered high fashion and yes some people will wear them to clubs (discos), dates and even fancy restaurants. Some people at these events will be wearing suits and oxfords. It just doesnt matter in NY as long as you look good. Christian is showing what works here.
The next time I get to Old England and want to meet and chill with Coop and Sweet I’ll get my monocle, umbrella, pipe and put on my blazer with elbow patches so I can get into Club Chap.
Jolly good show Christian. Keep up the good work.

These don’t even look like shoes…here is the story on how they were made:
A rabid dog with aids bit off Ron Jermey’s cock, then threw it up into a bag lady’s mouth while she was eating indian food. A homeless guy then came along and tore that shit out of the bag lady’s mouth, raped her then jizzed all over the shoe. He then used it as an ass dildo for a few weeks, before he lost it in a dumpster while diving for food. A raccoon digging through the dumpster found this, snatched it up and started dragging it across the street to his home, he got hit by a car and left for dead. The raccoon was on the street for a few days decaying in the hot sun before some road kill removing flunky named “Cletus” arrived to clean the shit up, he scooped the whole pile of dead raccoon and shoe into his truck, where he took it to a special area where he drops all the dead animals he finds. The shoe sat there in a pile of dead animals for 3 months, 4 days and 18 hours before the CEO of Converse came rolling to the pile, he was hungry because he can’t afford to eat because his shitty company keeps making ugly ass shoes everyone hates. He found these while scavaging and decided that Ron Jermey’s cum soaked, shit stained, bag lady twat raping, homeless man dildoing, dead raccoon dragging, corpse rotting dick is better than his current lineup of shoes.
That is how this shoe was born.
