Converse Chuck Taylor

The Converse Chuck Taylor is a canvas-and-rubber sneaker, widely considered the most iconic silhouette of all time. First created in 1917, the shoe was re-designed in 1922 when basketball player Chuck Taylor asked Converse for a shoe with more support and flexibility. The Chuck has since gone on to become the best-selling piece of athletic footwear ever — in 2000, Converse reported that they’d sold more than 600 million pairs.
