Converse Japan Jack Purcell "Looppile"

Converse Japan has released three new colorways in its popular Jack Purcell silhouette as part of its Spring 2015 offerings. The name is in reference to the pile textile which crafts the entire upper, a material that is characterized by the raised surface of the fabric which is made of upright loops or strands of yarn. With the choice to incorporate this particular material into its spring lineup, Converse Japan continues to draw inspiration from surf culture, where pile textiles such as terry cloth are common. The shoe comes in coral, gray and turquoise, and is due to release online and through select Converse Japan stockists sometime this month.
