In certain parts of the world, the word ‘crepe’ has become synonymous with sneakers just like ‘trainer’. The footwear world’s first introduction to a set of soles named after those arm-breakingly delicious delicate French pancakes was a bit more specific, referencing specifically those spongy silicon soles that have made a cameo on this latest take on the Converse Jack Purcell lowtop. These pairs have the gummy stuff applied to the Purcell’s typically vulcanized soles, which leads to an application along the lines of leather applied to a cup-midsole. It’s certainly one of the more unique expressions of both the crepe sole and the JP lowtop silo, so click in for more shots and look for these in store starting Saturday.
