Chuck Taylor – An “All Star” Original
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
Without a shadow of a doubt, the undisputed basketball sneaker of all time has to be Converse’s All Star “Chuck Taylor” shoe. This shoe has gone through its share of up’s and down’s. And, has leaped in and out of fashion but, has yet to ever disappear into obscurity. As a matter of fact it is estimated that over 60% of all North Americans own at least one pair of All Stars.
Developed in 1917, the All Star was originally produced in brown canvas with a thin rubber sole. It wasn’t until the 1920’s that Converse would produce it’s most popular black and white model and its leather alternative. This was the birth of a phenomenon and was then that All Star would become North America’s first mass produced basketball shoe.
Now, all history aside the lasting influence of this shoe is worthy of Collegiate study. Think about it. How is it that a product, that has not changed or evolved from its original vision, can still be so relevant even to this very day? The only answer that is plausible is that Converse got it right the first time. And, it is for that reason I feel we should declare that the All Star shoe should be deemed as North America’s official sneaker (just a thought). As a matter of fact, I’m not even going to waste your time by telling where these kicks are available. If you seek them, then you shall find them.
