The 2014 Converse Jack Purcell: Shibori Edition

The Jack Purcell of Converse has always been a pretty interesting pair of shoes. Still not content with what they have to offer, Converse will soon offer the Shibori version of their popular shoe line.


The word Shibori means "twisting" in Japanese. Shibori is a type of handicraft, similar to tie dyeing, wherein a sheet of canvas is dipped into dye and twisted to make interesting patterns.


The process utilized to make these shoes will ensure that each and every pair is unique. I personally love the blue color of the Shibori and I'll definitely look out for them. These shoes will soon be available in a limited number of Converse stores.
