Hancock and Converse are linking up to bring us several special versions of the classic Converse Jack Purcell. What makes this Hancock x Converse Jack Purcell collaboration so unique is that that shoes will be water repellent.
The low-top sneakers will come in three different tonal colorways consisting of Green, Navy and Beige. Each pair will feature a water repellent bonded cotton upper to help keep you dry just in case you come across some unexpected showers. In addition to the cotton upper, there will also be embossed plant print placed on the rubber toe box. The tonal plant print is said to be inspired by sketches from Thomas Hancock, who happens to be the father of the British rubber industry. Tonal laces and Nike Zoom Air technology on the sole complete the look of the shoe. Priced at $150, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

Author’s Take
Price is a little steep, but the design/construction and the fact that it’s water repellent kind of justifies it, right?
