I just received the shoe. I was expecting the older model (with the embroidery on the tongue and back) which others say is superior but received the updated model instead. A lot of people on fashion message boards rave about the older model so if you want to get those, don't expect to get them here.

This is my first pair of Jack Purcells and they look great and feel comfortable. I got them after trying out the Jack Purcell and Chuck Taylor. The JP feels more comfortable and has a heel cushion on the inside whereas the CT didn't.
