Converse Chuck Taylor's (Always in Style)

Converse Chuck Taylor's have to be one of the only shoes that never went out of style. They were first produced in 1917 and have kept the same design until today's day and age. Their classic design is very basic and as always been one of my favorite sneakers. Converse dominated the U.S. sneaker market from the 1920s until the 1970s. In 1923, after Chuck Taylor made improvements to the shoe, Converse decided to incorporate his name onto the ankle patch that displayed the Converse All Star logo. Then, in the 1930s Taylor’s signature was put into the design, which is how the shoe became known as the “Chuck Taylor” All Star. In 2003, Nike bought Converse for around $305 million. Within the last decade, Converse revamped their original design. The new design features the same look as the original but incorporates a slim sole instead of the older bulky style. I will be posting pictures of both styles in different colours, both canvas and leather, hightops and lowtops, as well as the slim-cut vs. the original. My goal is to get your opinions on what style compliments your wardrobe. Feel free to post your comments below!
