Black Converse All Stars
Why they’re the greatest trainer of all time.
Black Converse All Stars have been around since 1917, when Converse set out to dominate the Basketball shoe market. That makes them close to a century old and over that century I reckon they’ve become the greatest trainer of all time.
The first mass produced basketball trainer in the US, Converse All Stars only became popular thanks to their affiliation with Chuck Taylor, who’s name still resides on the brand patch that he originally suggested when he started as Converse’s lead salesman.
While white high tops were all the rage back in the days of Chuck Taylor’s Converse, it is the black and white trim high tops that have captured the most iconic imagery of the last decade. They were the trainer of choice for The Ramones, who were followed closely by Nirvana in the 90s. They have also featured significantly in films like I Robot, and they look ace in pretty much any situation.
