In 1935, a well-known Canadian badminton champion named Jack Purcell designed a distinctive badminton shoe using canvas and rubber materials. His creation was easily recognizable by the iconic 'smile' on its toe. Fast forward to 2017, when the renowned Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara collaborated with Jack Purcell to inject his own minimalist style into the classic shoe silhouette. The outcome was the highly sought-after Fragment Design x Jack Purcell Modern 'Black' edition. This iteration showcases a sleek black canvas upper adorned with striking white double stitching. Notably, a special stitched box can be found on the Side Panel, enhancing its visual appeal. The shoe also boasts metal eyelets for added durability and features the Fragment Text subtly placed on the black midsole trim. This collaborative design seamlessly marries Purcell's timeless creation with Fujiwara's contemporary aesthetic.
