Converse, in a few lines
Converse was founded in 1908 in Malden, Massachusetts, by Marquis Mills Converse. The brand first made rubber footwear, then in 1917 launched the All Star, a canvas basketball shoe that would become the Chuck Taylor. Few models have lived through so many eras: basketball courts, rock stages, skateparks. Around it, the catalog includes the Chuck 70, the One Star, the Run Star Hike with its platform sole and the Shai 001 for today's basketball. Collaborations with designers are a regular feature.
