FAQs

What makes this Jack Purcell model special?

This model is a special collaboration between Comme des Garçons PLAY and Converse Jack Purcell, featuring unique graphics and the iconic heart-and-eyes logo not found on standard releases.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Jack Purcell silhouette generally offers a standard fit. While the canvas has some give, they may not be ideal for individuals needing extra wide width without trying them on first.

How do I clean the red pinstripe detail?

Gently wipe the red pinstripe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this could damage the color.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made from durable grey canvas.

Is this a unisex shoe?

While listed for men's sizing (UK 8 in this specific product), Converse collaborations are often worn by all genders. It's recommended to check the size conversion if purchasing for a different gender.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The canvas upper is not waterproof and may stain or absorb water. While the rubber sole offers some protection, these are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prompt drying after exposure to moisture is recommended.

Where can I find other sizes or colorways?

This is a limited edition release. Other available sizes and colorways might be found through authorized retailers or resale markets, if still in stock.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears discolored after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a mild soap and not harsh chemicals. Spot test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Always use a damp, not wet, cloth.

Red pinstripe on the midsole is fading.

Avoid excessive scrubbing on the pinstripe. For minor fading, consider using a fabric marker or touch-up paint specifically designed for footwear, if available.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

New rubber soles can sometimes be slick. Walking on varied surfaces can help 'break in' the soles. If the issue persists, consider a light scuffing of the sole or specialized grip enhancers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sneakers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The Jack Purcell silhouette is a versatile style that pairs well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual skirts or dresses. They are designed for adult wear and are suitable for a male gender presentation.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Canvas: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the canvas upper. Avoid soaking the shoes.

  • Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and maintain shape.
