THE TWO WORLDS OF OUYANG NANA. Converse teams up with musician and singer Ouyang Nana for her first ever collaborative shoe, showcasing her multiple sides on top of the Jack Purcell silhouette. Always ready to take on fresh challenges to discover a new side of herself, Nana was hands-on in the design process of the Jack Purcell Mid, expressing a design concept inspired by the contrast between “inside vs outside”, with details from her diverse background presented through the upper and insole of the shoe: The premium beige suede upper, representing a side of her concentration on creative innovation; the inner lining feature Nana’s hand-drawn prints, representing a side of her child-like innocence. The shoe also features multi-colored eyelets, and interchangeable shoelaces printed with a line from her song lyrics, “I Just Want You To Be Happy” ---- Ouyang Nana’s creative design featured on the Jack Purcell is a testament to her courage and happiness found within herself and her loved ones.
