It's not very often that we let sneakerheads know what's going on with Elton John; in fact, we never do. However, a recent vacation sighting provided us with the perfect opportunity to introduce the legendary rocker to Sole Collector Celebrity Sneaker Watch. Elton was spotted boarding a boat en route to Club 55 with friends on Tuesday, dressed down in blue tinted shades, a floral button-up and a pair of Marimekko x Converse Jack Purcell Helen sneakers. Of course, the Helen is the female version of the Jack Purcell, but what's gender-specific footwear to a knight?
