There is not a more classic, revered sneaker brand than Converse. The heritage American shoe company was founded in 1908 and has been manufacturing footwear for athletes, the military, and everyone in between for more than a century. The most iconic, recognizable Converse shoe is the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, a former basketball sneaker that traditionally features a canvas or leather upper and vulcanized rubber sole. The look, ever timeless, has hardly changed since the original design and has been worn by people from all walks of life all over the world. The Converse Chuck 70, a lifestyle version of the shoe based on the construction of the model from the 1970s, has been used in high-profile collaborations with Tyler, the Creator, Kith, Off-White, and many more. Converse has been a subsidiary of Nike since 2003, but still treads on with its distinct and versatile style with models like the Chuck Taylor, One Star, Run Star Hike, and many more.
