The Converse Jack Purcell Johnny is set apart from the other smile-toed JPs by its use of an external side panel reinforcement you might see as something of a ‘seatbelt’ for your foot. Interesting, then, to see it done up by a brand who made its name crafting vehicles that don’t have them, as Australia’s Deus Ex Machina does up the midtop JP Johnny in black canvas with a tonal ‘belt’, golden tongue and burgundy foxing for a look that’s perfect as we transition into fall.
