Converse All Star Hi, Unisex Flat

Product Information

Converse initially produced winterized rubber-soled shoes and boots. During World War II, it shifted manufacturing to make footwear for the military. [4] Initially, it was one of the few producers of athletic shoes and dominated the U.S. market, but lost its position in the 1970s as competitors introduced their styles. In 1910, the production of shoes began to increase in volume. But it was not until 1915 that Marquis Mills launched its range of products for the sports world. At the time, shoes were not considered as a stylish accessory, so production was still shy. Indeed, at that time, canvas shoes only found their place in top-level sport because of their resistant sole and their lightness. Indeed, today, any artist can appropriate the pairs.

As is only fitting of a garment of this renown, a certain degree of lore has come to surround the All Star. Mr Taylor’s moniker might have been stamped on every shoe but, contrary to what you might have read in other column inches devoted to this subject, the coach was not directly involved in the shoe’s design, nor did he refine it. Converse ( / ˈ k ɒ n v ər s/) is an American lifestyle brand that markets, distributes, and licenses footwear, apparel, and accessories. Founded by Marquis Mills Converse in 1908 as the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in Malden, Massachusetts, it has been acquired by several companies before becoming a subsidiary of Nike, Inc. in 2003. [3] I got into woodworking about two years ago, through a buddy of mine who I used to skate with every day—he turned into a woodworker. So he gave me this scrap box of wood ... It just definitely started consuming me as skating did. I wanted to read about it, you know? Go on the internet and watch videos about it, and just learn anything and everything I could about woodworking. The first thing I ever made was a bench, and that's, kinda, what I've been making ever since. The cool thing about working with Product (RED) is just by doing the two things that I love, I'm also able to help people. [51] In 2003, finding himself overtaken by events, Converse was bought by the giant to the point, which was far from being a disgrace. Considering the star as a father, Nike will give it a new skin. It therefore defines the brand as an immortal style, leaving it with its own point of sale, without touching the mythical models.
