Converse

Converse has always pushed the boundaries of what a sneaker can do. Whether you’re sinking three-pointers on the court, hitting the half-pipe or need a pair of sneakers to survive your next rock concert, Converse has been there with you.

Created in 1917 as a non-skid basketball shoe, the All Star was originally promoted for its superior court performance by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor. But over the decades, something incredible happened: The sneaker, with its timeless silhouette and unmistakable ankle patch, was organically adopted by rebels, artists, musicians, dreamers, thinkers and originals.
