Chuck 70

Simple canvas shoes with a rubber sole and a reinforced toecap were worn by almost all professional basketball players at the time of Chuck's greatest glory. That's why they got the name All-Star and the star symbol on the heel.

In the vast landscape of fashion and footwear, few brands have left an extraordinary mark on both pop culture and everyday style as Converse. Synonymous with timeless design, self-expression, and a spirit of rebellion, Converse has transcended its origins as a basketball shoe to become an iconic symbol of individuality and creativity. Converse's journey began in 1908 when Marquis Mills Converse founded the Converse Rubber Shoe Company. The brand initially focused on producing rubber-soled shoes for sports, with a particular emphasis on basketball. In 1917, the Chuck Taylor All Star made its debut. Named after basketball player Charles "Chuck" Taylor, who played a pivotal role in popularising the shoe, the Chuck Taylor All Star quickly became a staple on and off the basketball court. With its canvas upper, rubber toe cap, and vulcanised rubber sole, it was a functional yet stylish choice. Exciting fact is that the basic design hasn't changed since 1917. Over the years the brand has collaborated with musicians such as Black Sabbath, Pink FLoyd, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix and many more. They even introduced special editions dedicated to Ramones and Kurt Cobain. In recent years they launched hyped up silhouettes, one of them being the Converse x Ader Error sought-after pair of regular sneakers with an artistic touch.
