Chuck Taylor has become the top seller of the sneakers, Converses. He was the shoes leading salesmen ! Chuck Taylor made adjustments to the shoes and now, on the high top converses you see his signature on the patch on the left ankle of both shoes.
Before Chuck Taylor's death in 1969, the shoe we see today wasn't like that before him. He co-designed many types of shoes and because of that the sneakers are not the 1950 style !
Different types were made like low top, high top, and Knee Highs ! Chuck Taylor made the name Converse All Stars after the name Converse Rubbers!!!!! lols
Would you believe this, the trend started with Rock Bands and fans of Punk Rock back in the 1970's! Teens never use to rock these sneakers until this new era. Now all types of people wear these, men, women and kids ! I don't know if you noticed but the guy from the show jackass, Johnny Knoxville be wearing Converses in most of his stunts.
Now, a whole lot of teens wearing converses. To me, they don't look right on big feet, because they make your feet look long! The smaller your feet the better. Converses are not expensive and they cost about $40. So these sneakers are a good way to look good at a low price. My favorite pair is the low top jean blue ones, and my second favorite is the high top burgundy ones, which I own myself !
Just like Adidas jackets, and Fit-Its, these sneakers are in style. Now the Converse All Stars are popular in man different styles and worn in many different ways. SOme people wear it all the way tied up and some don't tie the laces at all, either way these are in style for now !
_ Over and out, Mike T _
