The Chuck Taylor All Star is one of the most iconic sneakers ever created, born in 1917 and became the game shoe of the basketball player Chuck Taylor from 1923. Used until the 1970s as a basketball shoe, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star is now one of the best-selling sneakers in the world. This low top version celebrates the original model by reinforcing its structure with a thicker canvas upper, higher midsole, exposed stitching and reinforced rubber.
