Chuck Taylor All Star '70 Hi

If you had to name 10 sneakers that have left an indelible mark on the world of sneakers, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star would definitely be in the top three. The shoe was developed in 1917 as a basketball shoe and was first worn on the court a year later by the passionate basketball player and Converse employee Chuck Taylor. In 1923, the Converse All Stars were given the round patch on the inside, which still bears the player's name today, and from then on were called Chuck Taylor All Star by Converse. Chucks were worn by legends such as Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain and James Dean and achieved cult status early on - the rest is history. A simple upper material meets a vulcanized midsole with typical Converse foxing. The legendary label on the inside and the iconic rubber cap still adorn every Converse All Star Hi today.
