History
Marquis Mills Converse established the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in 1908, introducing the All Star basketball shoe in 1917. Basketball player Chuck Taylor joined the company in 1921, providing design improvements that led to his name being added to the ankle patch. Originally a performance athletic shoe, it transitioned into a cultural icon within music and film. It remains a significant artifact in fashion history for its longevity and cross-generational appeal.
