Jannik Sinner made history this weekend by becoming the first Italian man to win the Italian Open in half a century, reminding us why he’s the best tennis player in the world and why Nike inked him to a decade-long, $150+ million endorsement deal a few years back. And Nike, or Converse rather, made the perfect kicks for the occasion.
Shown below is a one-of-one Jack Purcell made for Sinner under the Converse First String line, featuring a premium Made in Italy construction, the Italian flag colors on the spine, and Jannik’s signature logo. Though this sneaker won’t release, it does come with an announcement that Converse is planning to bring the Jack Purcell back into regular rotation.
The Jack Purcell was created in the 1930s and later purchased by Converse in the ’70s. It bears a strong resemblance to the Chuck Taylor, with the clearest differentiator being an extra splice of curved rubber over the toe.
