Japanese designer Takahiro Miyashita, known for his affiliation with the renowned TheSoloist brand, drew inspiration from Seattle's grunge scene to create a striking collaboration with Converse. Unveiled in May 2019, the result was the captivating TheSoloist x Jack Purcell Zip Ox. Paying homage to the 'Black Americana' theme, the distinctive sneaker showcases a classic canvas upper with an eye-catching alternating pattern of white and black. Adding a touch of edginess, the zip-up design offers a unique closure system. Furthermore, the sneaker boasts vertical laces that elegantly weave through metal eyelets along the vamp, while a vintage license plate, featuring both brands' logos, adds a touch of sophistication to the heel in sleek black.
