Converse 1HUND(RED) Jack Purcell V3

When we showed you the newly-designed Converse Jack Purcell Racearound earlier this week, the majority of those that commented stated that it was a really fresh design. In the same manner, Converse has designed yet another Jack Purcell style; however, this particular sneaker holds much more meaning than a regular release.

Designed by Ian Ginoza, this shoe was designed to help fight AIDS in Africa. ?I just wanted to make something hopeful,? said Ian. This is act is also expressed by the Converse 1HUND(RED) campaign. The makeup draws inspirations from a single white blood cell. It features a predominately white epi leather mixed with a white rubber outsole. Minimal red accents appear on the inner lining, tongue and throughout the midfoot area. It will release tomorrow, August 29th, 2009 at select retailers for $90.
