Converse Information
 Converse shoes are more than just shoes. They carry with them almost 100 years of history and love of sport; they take part in basketball history and in the modern days between all kind of people.
Also referred to as "Cons", "Connies", "Chuckers", "Chucks", "Converse", "Chuckies", "Chuckie T's", or "Chucker Boots" for the higher styles,
for decades the Chuck Taylor All Star basketball shoe only came in black, or in white starting in 1947.
When Marquis M. Converse opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company, back in 1908, he certainly wasn't expecting that his shoes would become an American icon, for it has been shown that 60% of Americans own or had owned at least one pair of Converse shoes.(More historical facts got to Converse History).
Converse has transformed basketball and witness the birth of rock and roll among other things.
Converse is an American shoe company which has been making shoes since the early 20th century providing a wide variety of styles and colours.
