Step into Change

The highly anticipated Ian Ginoza designed Jack Purcell’s are available now, another great addition to the Converse 1HUND(RED) collection. These shoes have already made some noise in the sneaker community and we hope you’ll like them too. Another stylish way to join (RED) is to pick up a pair, and just in time for school.


The shoes are a premium version of the Jack Purcell 3 strap shoe, in white epi leather upper with luxury vintage texturing and rubber outsoles.

“I just wanted to make something hopeful,” Ian says of his 1HUND(RED) Jack Purcell V3 shoe design, which is inspired by a single white blood cell. “It’s about a clean slate--something completely pure.” Ian’s 1HUND(RED) shoe isn’t his first positive vision. The graphic designer turned sneaker aficionado turned entrepreneur, has always made something of his good ideas. The founder of Kicks Hawaii, Ian is a pioneer in the world of sneaker culture with significant contributions including two 2007 collaboration debuts in support of Converse (PRODUCT) RED and his highly sought after 2004 Kicks Hawaii Nike Dunk collaboration. Bringing the spirit of aloha to everything he touches, Ian recently joined Converse, where he now spends his days working on the brand’s most limited product.

The shoes retail for $90 and are available in the following locations: St. Alfred/Chicago, Huf/San Francisco, Bodega/Boston, UNDFTD/LA and Las Vegas, Commonwealth/DC, Canvas/Malibu, Barney's and Dave's Quality Meat/NYC, Dover Street Market/London, Wood Wood/Cophenhagen, Limited Edition/Barcelona, Patta/Amsterdam.
