Converse originally introduced their signature basketball shoe in 1917. The design underwent an update in the ’20s after former basketball legend Chuck Taylor approached Converse to make the shoe more comfortable for basketball players. Taylor’s input gave us the iconic design we know today, which typically includes white stitching, a white toe cap and rubber sole.
Chuck Taylors were the hottest shoes on the basketball court until around the 1970s when other shoe brands began introducing sneakers aimed at athletes. Today, Converse Chuck Taylors are beloved for their retro design. The brand has also released special-edition shoes celebrating artists like Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath and Blondie.
