Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Top Shoe

Edgy this week, sporty next. Ten years from now? TBD. No matter how (or when) your style changes, you can always come back to the classic. The original Chuck Taylor All Star—an icon for every era.

Created in 1917 as a non-skid basketball shoe, the All Star was originally promoted for its superior court performance by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor. But over the decades, something incredible happened: The sneaker, with its timeless silhouette and unmistakable ankle patch, was organically adopted by rebels, artists, musicians, dreamers, thinkers and originals.
