In 1917, Converse released the “All Star” basketball shoe. A few years later, basketball player Chuck Taylor joined the company. He traveled around the country teaching basketball and promoting Converse shoes. His impact was so big that Converse added his signature to the shoe, creating the famous “Chuck Taylor All Star.”
During the 1950s to the 1970s, Converse became more than just a sports brand. Musicians, skaters, and young people started wearing the shoes as part of street fashion and rock culture. The classic black-and-white Converse sneakers became one of the most recognizable shoes in the world.
