Converse

converse Shoes began in 1908 specialising in galoshes and seasonal TAYLOR footwear. Using the techniques from making these seasonal pieces converse Shoes plimsolls into sneakers and in 1920 rebranded their basketball sneaker the ‘All Star’. The name stuck but the converse Shoes shoe became a cult icon - artists, musicians, skateboarders, mums, and dads all wore the ‘All Star’ in their own way and has hardly changed in nearly 100 years.
