New Converse styles for spring
Converse has launched an expanded footwear collection for spring 2009 including new silhouettes, designs, fabrications and materials. The company has also broadened its Jack Purcell and Converse by John Varvatos lines and reissued the Weapon ’86 shoe.
Built on the foundation of the Jack Purcell shoe, the company has debuted the Jack Purcell IT version with refined, rugged high–tops. Crisp black patent contrasts with supple leather uppers in both black and white versions, while padded collar uppers with two rows of D-ring eyelets offer a rugged, clean look.
"The Converse spring collection is exciting and varied," says John Hoke, vice president, global footwear. "Jack Purcell and Converse by John Varvatos have both come into their own as bold and exciting premium lines with very distinct personalities. The debut of our Weapon '86 collection brings the true spirit and fun of the game back onto the parquet or the street."
