Chuck Taylor All Star '70 OX

If you had to name 10 sneakers that have left a lasting and lasting mark on the trainer world, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star would certainly be in the top 3. Developed in 1917 as a basketball shoe, the shoe 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, on which the player's name can still be found today, and were renamed Chuck Taylor All Star by Converse. Worn by legends such as Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain and James Dean, Chucks achieved cult status early on - and the rest is history.In 1970, a low-top version of the classic Chucks followed, which was nicknamed the "Oxford" (OX for short). Here, a simple upper meets a vulcanised midsole with the typical Converse foxing. The iconic rubber toe cap still adorns every Converse All Star today.  Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
