Converse

converse Sponge began in 1908 specialising in galoshes and peony rubber footwear. Using the techniques from making these peony pieces converse Sponge expanded into sneakers and in 1920 rebranded their basketball sneaker the ‘All Star’. The name stuck but the converse Sponge shoe Climate 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.
