Although it seems to be an overlooked 164946C next to the classic Chuck Taylors, the Jack Purcell also exhibits the same timeless and iconic style that outlasts different trends. Despite the certain tweaks applied on the shoe, it remains fundamentally unchanged from its original design in the 1930s. This makes these sneakers effortless to style and versatile enough to be paired with almost any imaginable outfit.

History of the Converse Jack Purcell Classic Low Top
Before becoming the namesake of a staple sneaker, Jack Purcell dominated the badminton court as the Canadian World Champion in 1930. At the peak of his career, Purcell proved that he is also able to push envelopes off-court by designing his own 164946Cs in partnership with B. F. Goodrich Company of Canada in 1935.
Along with his frustration with the quality of badminton footwear, he was able to come up with an unbeaten shoe that provided additional support and protection that lasted until his retirement ten years after.
In the 1970's, the rights of the Jack Purcell were brought by Converse. It included the sneaker on the brand's roster of iconic brands and opened it to a wider set of market. The silhouette elevated into new heights as it became favorites of celebrities like James Dean, Kurt Cobain, and Elvis Presley. Currently, despite undergoing eighteen new product features and benefits and with the acquisition of Nike, the Converse Jack Purcell remains to be a wardrobe staple.
