Originally founded in 1908, Converse was first known as the ‘Converse Rubber Shop Company,’ created by founder Marquis Mills. Also recognized as Chuck Taylor, Converse has grown into one of the most iconic footwear companies and has been a staple sneaker for every generation. 

Initially designed to be court shoes, the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker reinvented the sport of basketball with the innovative design and concept. The Chuck Taylor All Star was the first massed produced basketball shoe in North America, due to the thick rubber sole and an ankle covering canvas upper, which provided the comfort and support needed for the court. One of the most popular silhouettes, the Chuck 70 Hi was first launched in the 1970s and was popular with young adults and musicians.
