What is Converse known about?
The History of Converse
In 1908, the Converse Rubber Shoe Company was opened in Malden, Massachusetts by Marquis M. Converse, a former respected manager of a shoe company. The company produced rubber shoes for women, men, and children. By 1910, Converse was producing 4,000 shoes daily, but it wasn't until 1915 that the company began producing tennis shoes for athletes. The introduction of the Converse All-Star basketball shoe in 1917 is still seen as an innovation, as the sport was only 25 years old at the time. In 1921, basketball player Chuck Taylor walked into the store with a story about painful feet. Converse gave him a job. He worked as a representative and ambassador, making the shoes known in and around the United States. In 1923, after publishing a retrospective on the first 60 years of basketball and teaching his first basketball clinic at North Carolina State University, his signature was added to the All Star. He tirelessly continued his work until shortly before his death in 1969. Since 2003, Converse has been part of Nike.
