Converse

As ubiquitous a fashion item as denim jeans and leather jackets, the Converse brand is one of the world’s most recognisable. With classic styles that have stayed largely the same for decades, to more modern iterations of the footwear, this is footwear that everyone should have in their wardrobes.

Originally, this brand was a rubber shoe company that specialised in galoshes. Beginning at the dawn of the 20th century in 1908, the company soon began transforming its knack for manipulating rubber into the art of making sneakers.

History was made in 1920 when Converse christened its basketball sneaker the “All Star.” Originally designed to help basketball stars sink shots, the general public took the canvas hi-tops and transformed them into a fashion staple.

Anyone who is anyone has owned and loved a pair of Converse shoes, including John F Kennedy, and an endless roll-call of musicians and artists.

Fast forward to the present, and this now-iconic sneaker is still ever-present. The All Star hi-tops are an item to be found in every celebrity wardrobe around the world, and loved by millions more. Perfect with dresses, skirts and denim, the Converse brand have created and nurtured a contemporary icon.
