I still have my red Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars ("Chuck's") from high school! They are classic canvas kicks!
I love the iconic Converse women's shoes especially!!! Converse shoes have really expanded in terms of variety and now they have platform ("lift") shoes and even a good selection of canvas boots! You can customize your Converse shoes with unique colors, charms, lacy details, favorite characters, custom patches, custom laces, custom eyelets, custom embroidery, and more.
I was "today old" when I learned Converse markets, distributes and licenses clothing and accessories in addition to footwear! All these years, I thought Converse only made shoes! Interesting that all these years of owing a pair of "Chucks" I never knew that Charles H. "Chuck" Taylor was a real person! He was a basketball player, who, in 19222 walked into Converse complaining of sore feet and Converse gave him a job as a salesman and ambassador. I'm not sure how putting Mr. Taylor to work alleviated his foot pain. Chuck asked Converse to create a better shoe with more support and flexibility. Chuck Taylor promoted Converse across the United States and his signature was added to the All-Star patch on the Converse high-top sneakers! Fun fact: Converse's Chuck Taylor All-Stars have appeared in over 650 films, including "Rocky," "Back to the Future," "Grease," "Doctor Who," "Wayne's World," "The Big Lebowski," and "Stand by Me."
Thanks Converse for making the classic, iconic, durable and just plain cool, Chucks! read more
