Description
Founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse, Converse's original focus was on rubber shoes such as galoshes. However, in 1917, Converse introduced the now iconic Converse All-Star, a basketball shoe that paved the way for their famous Chuck Taylor All Star design. These sneakers, named after Converse salesman and basketball player Chuck Taylor, have gained a devoted following worldwide for their distinctive silhouette and have become a symbol of various subcultures.
