And now Jack Purcell's, the iconic must-haves for aspiring Hollywood actors and actresses in the ‘30s and ‘40s are back!
Jack Purcell shoes have been popular with tennis players since their inception in 1935, when world famous badminton champion Jack Purcell helped design an innovative and durable court shoe that raised the level of quality in performance wear. Eternally hip and understated, this classic court shoe now pushes that status in a progressive new direction.
With a contemporary twist on the classic 1930’s silhouette highlighting the telltale smile toe, the Jack Purcell shoe embarks on a 21st century renaissance injected with a refined and simple style. The new shoes combine the classic look Jack Purcell is known for with state of the art Nike technologies, making it one of the lightest and most comfortable tennis shoes ever built. Carefully crafted with high tech performance benefits presented in a clean, simple package – the shoes are perfect for both on-and-off court action. The Glen Plaid mono-mesh woven upper is constructed with Nike Flywire technology for the perfect blend of breathable performance and style, keeping feet cool all the way through the fifth set. The Lunarlon midsole provides light and responsive cushioning to ensure even the fastest court movements are accomplished in comfort. For stability the shoe features a carbon fiber shank that helps stiffen the chassis while still offering a lightweight feel. An XDR outsole ensures there is ample traction and durability to keep up.
This shoe gets serious good marks for combined style and performance — Jack is definitely back!
