In 1908 in Malden, Massachusetts, M. Converse decided to set up his shoe company. In 1917, he presented the historic first sports shoe: the Converse All Star. Over the years, Converse has expanded its production to become a true icon in the fashion world. The new CONVERSE ALL STAR CHUCK TAYLOR HIGH for men have a canvas upper and a vulcanised rubber outsole, and they revisit the classic original model with a new flame style colour.
