For more than 100 years Converse has been manufacturing high quality and unique looking basketball shoes as well as a more recent range of fashion clothes and many other styles of shoe. Best recognised for their range of All Star high top trainers, you can choose from a huge variety of trainers and shoes. As well as the iconic design of red with a white star you can also buy the latest white Converse, ideal for wearing with virtually any outfit.
Converse are traditionally viewed as being informal shoes but the likes of David Tennant as Doctor Who has proven that they can be worn with almost any outfit to create a unique and attractive look. They can be worn by men or women and thanks to the large range of different styles and designs, including white Converse you can fill rooms never mind wardrobes with your own collection.
The Converse Rubber Shoe Company was formed in 1908 and in 1917 the first pair of Chuck Taylor All Stars went on sale. The shoe was redesigned and improved in a bid to win the lucrative basketball market over and Chuck Taylor, a basketball player and Converse salesman, was installed as a spokesperson for the brand. Despite the continued success of the trainers, though, the company were forced to sell to Nike in 2003 in a bid to avoid bankruptcy.
Happily, this means that you can still buy your favourite pair of trainers so whether you prefer red or white Converse, low top or hi top, you can find the ideal pair to accompany any outfit and to wear a great looking and comfortable pair of shoes that are perfect for any occasion.
Converse trainers have become a part of popular culture and many subcultures have adopted the now iconic footwear design as their own. As well as athletes, punks and metallers, surfers, emos, and skaters have taken the Converse in its various guises under their wing and into their own unique style. To this day, you can buy Converse shoes and enjoy them for their iconic status, their comfort, and they great looking style.
