Converse

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