The color of this shoe doesn't look purple at all to me. When I look at the shoes, they seem lighter to me. It has a lot more purple than pink. ☹️ My favorite color is purple and I was really excited about this shoe but was disappointed when it arrived in a lighter colour. Look at the picture I uploaded for you and judge for yourself what color you see. It's also a thicker canvas than my other All Star Chuck Taylors that I own. Seems to fit a bit on the cozy side too. Not too bad or anything, but noticeable when I wore them for most of the day and then switched to another pair. The differences are noticeable.
