Every guy needs a pair of sneakers

Converse Men’s Jack Purcell $55.00

Esquire has written that every guy should have five distinct pairs of shoes in the bottom of his closet.  I think they’ve got it pretty close with one exception (White Bucks?)  That and they omit the running shoes / hiking boots that most active guys will have in there.

But their advice on getting a classic American-style pair of sneakers is certainly sound.  They work with literally everything.  Jeans, Chinos, shorts… whatever.  And if you get a neutral enough shade  they’ll certainly become a go-to on weekends or for just about anything else.

That and when it’s really hot, you don’t need to wear socks with them.

The Jack Purcell Converse have a bit more material substance to them than your average Chucks and are well worth the extra $10 -$15
