Converse

Although no one knows for sure how it happened, around 1928 Chuck Taylor joined the Converse Rubber Company and sneaker history was in the making. By 1974, the already popular All Star received a makeover and was remade with suede in eye-catching colours and a large bold star on the side. The shoe was
being made for basketball but due to the boldness of the shoe it became irresistible to skaters, rockers and many rebellious souls. World famous Canadian badminton player, John Edward 'Jack' Purcell, helped to propel the brand further into the limelight and as a tribute, Converse’s most exclusive trainer is the Converse Jack Purcell.
