Converse trainers, sneakers, canvas shoes—call them what you will, but they are truly iconic. Founded in 1908 as the Converse Rubber Shoe Company, Converse holds the title as one of the oldest and most influential sneaker brands, boasting a rich history that few can match.
A Century of Converse and the Birth of Chuck Taylor
A key figure in the rise of Converse was Chuck Taylor, whose name is now synonymous with the brand. A basketball player, Taylor initially approached Converse with complaints about the tightness of their canvas shoes, which led to his eventual collaboration with the brand. His input helped modernize the classic Converse sneaker, and in 1932, the brand officially renamed their high-top model to the Converse Chuck Taylor, solidifying its place in history.
World War II and the Transformation of Converse
The outbreak of World War II marked a pivotal shift for Converse. The brand shifted its focus to producing durable sneakers and military gear for soldiers, temporarily halting production of its popular canvas sneakers. However, after the war, Converse returned to its roots, once again shipping their classic sneakers to eager customers.
Converse and Basketball
Originally designed for basketball players, Converse shoes became synonymous with the sport. For many years, they were the go-to sneakers for basketball players, including the legendary Michael Jordan. Over time, though, Converse lost its dominance on the court as new competitors emerged. Yet, the brand remained beloved by music fans, particularly in the rock and punk subcultures.
As Converse faced challenges in the late 20th century, Nike stepped in, purchasing the brand and breathing new life into it. This acquisition helped Converse regain its place as a cultural icon.
