By 1910, Converse had begun manufacturing shoes daily, while in 1915, the company switched focus to creating athletic shoes. It wasn't until 1921 when Charles H. “Chuck” Taylor joined Converse after complaining to the sales office in Chicago about having sore feet. He persuaded the company to create a line of shoes designed purely for basketball. Converse has always pushed the boundaries of what a sneaker can do. Whether you’re sinking three-pointers on the court, hitting the half-pipe or need a pair of sneakers to survive your next rock concert, Converse has been there with you.
