Chucks/Converses


Converse shoes are one of the most popular shoes. They tend to go with a lot of outfits. These days they come in different styles and colors. Even with all this, they all have the same logo located somewhere on that shoe.
Converse got their start back in 1917. When basketball player Chuck Taylor started to wear them, the shoes became popular. After a few changes the shoe was ready for the crowds. The Chuck Taylor All Stars was born. By the 21st Century over 750 million pairs had been sold worldwide.
In 2003 the Converse was bought by Nike. So next time you buy a Converse think about the style of the shoe and why they are called Chucks.
