New York based designer Thom Browne in collaboration with Converse has unveiled the iconic Jack Purcell sneaker by CONVERSE. Thom Browne used one of his favorite materials, grosgrain ribbon detailing an interwoven lattice work that looks like a tesselated French flag. The lining comes in suede, sole and toe cap in white, keeping an overall clean look. The patriotic basket weave is the same look that he used for a suit in his spring show. Thom Browne Converse Sneaker is exclusively available at the Parisian boutique Colette in Paris and retails for $1,800.

I think Purcell designed a canvas and rubber badminton sneaker in 1935. He designed the shoe to provide more protection and support on badminton courts
