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. The model was initially called the “A11 Star” and designed for playing basketball.
To promote its shoe model in American universities, Converse enlisted the help of basketball player Chuck Taylor in 1921. Chuck assembled a team called the "All Stars" to tour universities and give demonstrations. The success was so great that the shoe 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 pay tribute to the basketball player who created the legend of this now-iconic shoe. The Converse Chuck Taylor then became the must-have shoe for basketball players until the late 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 cemented its status as the iconic sneaker it is today.
Converse Chuck Taylors have also permeated the world of music. Big names like Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, the members of the Rolling Stones, and The Who have all contributed to the legend of this shoe.
Despite its success, sales plummeted in the 2000s, and the brand eventually accepted Nike's buyout offer in 2003. This acquisition did not spell the end for Converse; quite the opposite, in fact, as Nike made all its sneaker technology expertise available to the brand, releasing the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II in 2016—a much more comfortable and durable version of the original Chuck Taylor All Star.
