The Jack Purcell pop-up: Hello player!

We have got many great things coming up in store recently -- this is yet another!

To time with their Fall 2011 collection, Converse has just set up a pop-up corner at Rockstar to spread the love for Jack Purcell, the iconic badminton shoes that changed casual style forever.

Named after and designed by Jack Purcell, the world champion Badminton player in the 30s, Purcell almost became a stock broker at one point in time. He didn't in the end, and Purcell went on to not only beat top players all over the world, he remained unbeaten until his retirement in 1945.

To celebrate Jack -- both the person and the shoes -- Converse has been setting up shop in selected cities, including this very interesting one in Paris.

Back home and over here at Rockstar, you will see a tight selection of the new Fall colours and also Helen (named after Purcell's wife) specially created for women. No matter the original or the Helen, the Jack Purcell is an honest everyday footwear for the everyday Rockstars we all are.

Whether you cook, write, draw, repair, talk, analyse or swing a racket for a living.
