We couldn’t be more proud or happier with how these shoes were received worldwide, and especially in Hawaii. This is a true testament to authentic intent and perpetuating Hawaiian culture with the voice of the natives.

Available in a green and white low-top or a navy and white high top, both feature heathered two-tone cotton uppers and signature Jack Purcell Johnny detailing. Adding a contemporary twist, unique overlays are added to the shoe’s upper using a tinted, transparent, screen-mesh that gives the fabric beneath a slight off-tone appearance and a modern touch. Gum outsoles, tortoise shell eyelets and grosgrain ribbon pull-tabs round out the sophisticated look of the Jack Purcell Johnny shoes.
Converse First String is a limited-edition collection that celebrates craftsmanship, authenticity and collaboration at the highest level. Only 250 Pro Leathers and 200 Jack Purcells will be available in the US.” -Converse First String.

CONVERSE by JOHN VARVATOS:

The first time we had this studded JV Chuck Taylor Hi in stock it sold out over a weekend. Its rare we can get re-ups on premium products; therefore, don’t sleep this time around!

This double zip JV Chuck Taylor Hi is g-r-r-r-r-r-r-eat! *Tony the Tiger voice* The overdyed upper features a subtle camo pattern. Controlled distressing like only John Varvatos can accomplish without it looking forced. True rock’n'roll attitude.

MISSONI for CONVERSE FIRST STRING:

The latest, and THE BEST, Missoni Chuck Taylor to date. The blue toe cap is so on point, and if you have a chance to look at this shoe up close, you will see how intricate the woven fabric of the upper is. I bought one right out the box, but now I am terrified to wear it because it is such a great looking shoe! Ok, so maybe not “terrified”…that was a tad dramatic, but you know what I meant, right?
