BornxRaised collaborates with Converse to create the Jack Purcell “On The Turf” pack — a capsule that captures the essence of Venice, California.

Spanto, head of BornXRaised, brought forth a collection that combines the immutable history of Venice with that of the shoe. Embueing the silhouette with elements of both street and dapper, the shoe features the ubiquitous white mid-sole, a hair-on-hide upper — available in black and camel — along with tonal complements on the heel and toe cap. Last, embellishments are added via sole with “On The Turf” embroidering on the tongue and the brand’s namesake on the heel.

If you’re in the area February 2, shop the collection at the special pop-up (address below), or catch the global launch February 3 Converse’s website and at select retailers like HBX.
