Launched in 1944, The Center became more than a sneaker.
With unparalleled comfort and durability, our iconic Canvas shoes launched a movement.
Today, The Center high-tops pick up that story, reviving the retro aesthetic and combining it with elevated design and comfort built for modern life.
As part of The Captain Collection, this fresh colorway pairs soft vintage white with warm biscotti accents for a clean, heritage-inspired look.
Finished with the signature P.F. Flyers gum rubber outsole, double pinstripe sidewall, and ribbed toe bumper, the sneaker is a classic throwback re-engineered for the present.

Materials And Care
- Upper: #14 Heavyweight Canvas
- Insole: Signature Posture Foundation (PF)
- Outsole: Rugged Gum Rubber
- Care Instructions:
- Upper: Hand wash only; brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush and spot clean stains using cold water, a mild detergent or dish soap, and a microfiber cloth
- Rubber Outsole: Use a damp cloth to scrub the gum rubber outsole and ribbed toe bumper
- Drying: Air dry completely at room temperature and keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent the white canvas from yellowing and the rubber from warping
About P.F. Flyers
P.F. Flyers, short for “Posture Foundation,” is well known for its patented insole technology developed in the 1930s, which was designed to shift the wearer's weight to the outside of the foot for better posture, arch support, and all-day comfort. Officially launched in 1937, they became known for adding structure and support to canvas sneakers. Soon after their launch, P.F. Flyers were worn by everyone from professional athletes to US Army soldiers, making them a truly revolutionary brand.
Why P.F. Flyers
Unlike standard flat-soled canvas shoe companies, P.F. Flyers’ innovative products truly embody their dedication to their consumers. Maintaining a high standard of infusion of all-day support and vintage aesthetics ensures comfort and durability. But they are made to last.
