Converse was born in 1908 in Massachusetts (USA).

They were the leading shoes in basketball until the seventies. Thousands of players of every league and nationality wore them. In the seventies and eighties, in addition to sportsmen, they became a real total icon as many musicians, singers, rock bands, heavy metal, hard rock, punk rock, etc. they habitually wore Converse. The All-Stars are still iconic and popular today, also thanks to the company's decision to produce numerous variations on the theme, changing colours, materials and shapes.
