Celebrating Converse

Over the last century, Converse has created a huge legacy in the world of sneakers, effortlessly fitting into fashion trends.

The iconic silhouette of the sneaker was originally designed in 1917 and their real promoter was American professional basketball player Charles “Chuck Taylor”. He fell in love at first sight, causing her to take the field as teammates. The name “All Stars” is also due to this basketball star, in honor of his famous basketball team.

Its timeless simplicity has attracted artists and designers from all walks of life, starting with sportsmen and then dominating the music industry at the feet of hip-hop, pop and punk singers, without forgetting collectors and influencers.

It is said that consistency is the key to longevity and Converse is perhaps one of the few current brands that has completely understood this statement. In fact, over the past 100 years, the design of this icon has barely changed and this has made it one of the most recognizable shoes on the planet.

In the last period then, dominated by the athleisure, wearing sneakers is seen as an extension of the personality and expression of the creativity of the wearer, a further plus point for the Converse, able to adapt to any type of outfit.
