The Converse All Star was born in 1915 from the “Converse Rubber Shoe Company,” which we know today as “Converse.” At the time, the company specialized in manufacturing rubber clogs worn, among others, by inmates in American prisons. Initially, the model was called the “A11 Star” and designed for basketball.
To promote its model in American universities, Converse enlisted the help of basketball player Chuck Taylor in 1921. Chuck then assembled a team called the “All Stars” to tour universities and give demonstrations. The success was so great that the model was renamed “All Star” in reference to this team.
It wasn't until 1932 that Converse changed the name of this model to “Chuck Taylor All Star” to honor the basketball player who created the legend of this now-iconic shoe. The Converse Chuck Taylor became the must-have shoe for all basketball players until the end of the 1960s. These star shoes of the basketball court also managed to gain popularity outside of sports circles as early as 1950, thanks in particular to James Dean, who wore a pair of "Chuck Taylor All Stars" in the film "Rebel Without a Cause." But it wasn't until 1969, with the death of the late Chuck Taylor, that Converse established itself as THE iconic sneaker, the one it is today. Converse Chuck Taylors also permeated the world of music. Big names like Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, the members of the Rolling Stones, and The Who contributed to the legend of this shoe. Despite its success, sales declined in the 2000s, and the brand finally accepted Nike's acquisition offer in 2003. This acquisition does not signal the death of Converse, quite the contrary, since Nike is making all its technological know-how in sneakers available to the brand by releasing the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II in 2016, a much more comfortable and resistant version of the original Chuck Taylor All Star.
