Converse Sneakers

In the realm of footwear, few brands compare to Converse. Established in Massachusetts in 1908, the company secured its place in American popular culture with the 1917 release of its Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers. Named for the basketball player/shoe salesman, and championed by sports stars, rockers, and everyone in between, “Chucks” have become the most iconic—and democratic—model in the brand’s assortment, which also includes new original Converse shoes and high-profile collaborations.
