QUOTE: Be an ORIGINAL

Very few footwear brands have made as much of an impact in the fashion industry as Converse has. With a repertoire that dates back over 115 years, the Converse brand and its shoes have become icons in the footwear world. Converse sneakers are some of the most recognizable sneakers on the planet. It all started with its strong and unparalleled connection to basketball and countless other subcultures.

Founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse in Malden, Massachusetts, the world looked different over 115 years ago, especially regarding the shoes people wore. Marquis Mills Converse began crafting shoes that heavily featured rubber in their construction. His company was originally named ‘The Converse Rubber Shoe Company,’ and it all started with the Converse All-Star Sneaker.
