The Converse Chuck Taylor 70 All Star, a historical model
Since their creation in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse, sneakers and sneakers Converse are still among the most popular shoe models in the fashion world. According to the facts, it was after a fall down the stairs that the idea of creating shoes with a sole in rubber came to Marquis Mills' mind Converse. In its early days, the collection was largely composed of city shoes and boots. Nevertheless, the brand soon diversified by taking its first steps into the sports market. The brand hired a basketball player named Chuck Taylor to act as a salesman in order to be better represented and in 1917 launched the Converse All Star which became emblematic in the following years. Several years later, in 1932, the name of the player Chuck Taylor is printed on the disc of the model. The latter is also decorated with a blue star. This is how the Chuck Taylor All Star.
Over the years, as the model became more and more popular, new variations in various colors were also created. However, the appearance of new firms such as Nike and Adidas in the early 1980s put the company in a delicate position. It went bankrupt and was bought out in 2003 by Nike. Thanks to its dynamism in terms of sneakers and following numerous collaborations, the Converse was able to find a new life with the birth of several other collections such as the Converse Run Star Hike or the Converse Fear Of God.
