Yeah I mean, if they're similar to Chuck Taylors I think I'll be fine. Some people consider those uncomfortable, after all.

There's a touch more arch support in Purcells than in Chucks, too.

Are you sure it's Jack Purcell? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I can only find the Converse all-star version that is laceless.

JPs come laceless. I've seen em at American Rag. But I think they're part of the John Varvatos collab.

It's not on the Converse website. How strange...

Last year's, I think? The only one they still have is the one I mentioned above:

But no 11.5s or 12s.

That's okay; Purcells are destined for frat-dom now that they're available at the Crew...
