Converse products are defined by both their purpose and the way they are embraced and transformed by culture. This is how the brand's history has been written for over 100 years. It is in this spirit that the phenomenon of the Chuck Taylor All Star model - originally a basketball sneaker that has become a cultural icon - was born. Likewise with the One Star silhouette, which was originally a basketball shoe before being adopted by skaters and street communities, building a legacy of cultural significance around anti-conformism. Also worth mentioning here is the ERX model, which became famous worn by players of the famed Detroit Pistons team of the late '80s and early '90s rock stars and skateboarding legends.
