Following a pair of collaborative KAW slides with Suicoke earlier this year, mastermind JAPAN now joins forces with Converse for low and mid-top Japan-exclusive Jack Purcell sneakers.

Uppers are dressed in black GORE-TEX canvas materials with cross-stitched paneling throughout and a mastermind skull logo embroidered on the tongue tab. Laces come in white and the top eyestay covers are fitted with metallic chrome studs, while mid-top pairs come with an additional silver zipper. The white React HD rubber midsoles extend upwards towards the “MASTERMIND”-printed toe box, and an additional black mastermind patch can be found on the lateral heel. The Jack Purcell’s defining toe cap bar is found in black to complete the collaborative two-tone pairs.

The low and mid-top mastermind Japan x Converse Jack Purcell GORE-TEX pairs are now available at mastermind JAPAN shops and select retailers.
