mastermind JAPAN Link with Converse for GORE-TEX-Lined Jack Purcells
and know how to follow the old 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' rule. The two's colabs are always black and white, always feature mastermind JAPAN's signature skull and crossbones graphic, and (almost) always use a punk rock and biker culture-inspired metal stud on their top eyestay. Sometimes they even add special materials, and that's the case on their latest – two lined takes on the classic .
Arriving in both high and low-top options, each pair boasts all the above-mentioned details, plus a mastermind JAPAN spellout graphic on the Jack Purcell's signature white rubber toe cap, GORE-TEX embellishments, branded lace tips and a small skull graphic towards the rear of the midsole. The high-top iteration takes things a step further with a custom silver zipper for ease of entry and removal, and both are completed with a React HD midsole for cushy comfort.
The mastermind JAPAN x Converse Jack Purcell GORE-TEX collection will release via mastermind JAPAN, Converse Japan and select Japanese retailers come November 30. As Converse Japan is separate from Converse internationally, these kicks likely won't see a global release.
