Converse has been shaping men's clothing for decades, and remains at the forefront of fashion. After creating one of the first basketball shoes - the All-Star - in 1917, Chuck Taylor arrived as salesman and ambassador in 1923, playing in Converse's own basketball team and transforming the company into a national icon. Between its high-profile fans and countless collaborations, Converse continues to evolve with fashion, without ever giving up what made it so quintessential over 100 years ago.
