converse Velvet JACK PURCELL TRICOLINE RH ￥8 | Converse

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