Shoes 2010

Chuck Taylor All-Stars are canvas and rubber shoes produced by Converse. They were first produced in 1908 as the "All-Star", Converse's attempt to capture the basketball shoe market. They were not particularly popular until basketball player adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was so impressed with the design that he became the shoe's leading salesman. After proposing a few changes to the shoe, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor's signature on its ankle patch.
