With one of my biggest gripes with the Jack Purcell being the huge bulging rubber toe-cap, it took a look back into the Converse archives to re-release one of their original interpretations of the Jack Purcell with the Race-Around. Seen some 35 years later, the Race-Around Tuexdo features a more stream-line approach with two clean and ultimately versatile colors in black/black and black/silver. Available now at Flauge.

    The black version is an instant cop if it hits the US. That’s a “big” if, thou.

    Will it be available in the US? PROBABLY NOT.
