Korean brand CATCHBALL's styles are inspired by 1950s-1960s European military-issue pairs and the shoes worn on American playgrounds in that era. A timeless silhouette thoughtfully constructed in sturdy herringbone twill uppers and vulcanized-rubber outsoles, these comfortable, durable sneakers are built to get better with age. Not only is J.Crew the only place in the U.S. where you'll find CATCHBALL sneakers, this exclusive pair is made in collaboration with Wallace & Barnes, our own collection of rugged essentials. Fun fact: Vulcanization is a process where cross-links are formed between rubber molecules for improved elasticity and resilience. CATCHBALL proudly manufactures their soles in one of Korea's few remaining vulcanized-rubber factories.
