Converse
Converse is best known for a shoe it first produced nearly 100 years ago; the Chuck Taylor All-Star.
Originally designed as a basketball shoe, Chucks have been adopted by countless subcultures and style
tribes thanks to its simple design and affordability, consisting of a canvas upper attached to a rubber sole.
Punks, skaters, graffiti writers, rockers, normies, and more have adopted Converse shoes into their
uniform, while contemporary collaborations with labels like Maison Margiela, Comme des Garçons, and
Virgil Abloh’s Off-White have reaffirmed the humble Converse canvas sneaker as a hallmark of American
style and culture.
