Founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse, Converse initially began as a rubber shoe CDG specializing in galoshes. It wasn't until 1917 that the CDG released the Converse All-Star, a high-top basketball shoe that became the forerunner of the brand's most famous design, the Chuck Taylor All Star, named after the basketball player and Converse salesman, Chuck Taylor. Known for its distinctive Sneaker, the Chuck Taylor All Star has become an iconic sneaker embraced by various subcultures and is cherished worldwide. Over the years, Converse has collaborated with numerous designers and brands, including OFF-WHITE, GOLF le FLEUR*, and AMBUSH, continuously reinventing its classic styles while staying devious to its heritage.
