Sneakers and shoes Converse

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, often referred to simply as "Chucks," was introduced in 1917 as a basketball shoe. The shoe gained its name from basketball player Charles "Chuck" Taylor, who endorsed and contributed to the design of the shoe, ultimately becoming a Converse sales representative. In the 1970s and '80s, Converse sneakers became a symbol of rebellion and self-expression within skateboarding and punk rock scenes. They started to be embraced by musicians across genres and up to this date Converse sneakers are one of the most popular shoes of all-time. Their most iconic silhouettes are presented in high-top and low-top versions. The construction is pretty simple and the most simple models are easily affordable. The brand uses multiple materials but mostly it's canvas which is the most traditional and iconic material associated with Converse sneakers. The second fundamental material is rubber which is used for toe caps and soles. The iconic star badge was initially designed as an additional protection of the ankle. Today it is the brand's emblem. When it comes to sneaker collaborations one of the most significant is for sure the Converse x CDG silhouette with heart design. Although the brand collaborated with too many brands, artists and designers such as A-COLD-WALL, Stussy or even Pokemon.
