ConverseConverse® Chuck Taylor All Star 70 low-top sneakers

Converse was founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse in Malden, Massachusetts. Originally known as the Converse Rubber Shoe Company, they built durable, rubber-soled footwear. By 1917, the first iterations of the now-legendary Chuck Taylor All Stars hit the market and the redesign in 1922 became the first basketball shoe to achieve fame. Worn since then by everyone from pro athletes to punk rockers, the shoes are a cultural icon. This reissued version stays true to its 1970s version, with a few modern updates including extra padding for added comfort. - Cotton canvas/rubber upper. - Rubber sole. - Imported. - Select stores.
