Converse Mens Shoes

Converse is a very popular American shoe company that has been making shoes since the early 20th century. Marquis Mills Converse opened the Converse Shoe Rubber Company when he was in his 30s. He founded the company in 1908 in Malden, Massachusetts. The company was a rubber shoe manufacturer, which provided winterized rubber soled footwear for men, women and children. By the year 1910, Converse was producing 4,000 shoes daily. The company's turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-star basketball shoe was introduced.

Converse is a company which concentrates mainly on basketball shoes. Unlike the New Balance 810 and New Balance 620 which are mainly for running, Converse shoes men can be seen on the feet of basketball stars. Converse also produces sneakers for women but they do not manufacture dressy shoes like BCBG women’s shoes.

The most popular style of Converse men’s shoes is the Converse All Star. This classic shoe is the oldest and most popular basketball shoe of all time. It has been on the market since 1917. The first All Stars shoe came in brown with black trim, but in the 1920s, the company began making them in black and white. In 1949 the classic black and white Mens ConverseAll Star hit the market. In the 1970s, the All Stars were in more shoe closets in America than nearly any other sneaker in the market. The All Star logo is one of the most widely-recognized logos in the United States. All Stars now come in high and low top versions and are found in a wide array of colors and patterns. They can also be found in adult and infant sizes.

Converse Chuck Taylors were not particularly popular until the Basketball player Chuck Taylor adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was so impressed by the design; he even became the shoe's leading salesman. After a few changes, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor's signature on its ankle All Stars patch. Classic black is the most popular color; however, there are any colors available. There are also colored and patterned shoelaces which can be purchased for the Chuck Taylors. Fans of punk rock have adopted the shoe as a fashion trend since the late 1970s and many popular punk rock bands, such as the Ramones, have supported the trend by wearing the sneakers. All-Stars were worn by the entire athletics team in the movie Grease. It is great for athletics with its half an inch thick outsole, and comfortable enough to be worn on casual occasions and strolls in the mall.

There are many manufacturers in the world making counterfeit Converse men's shoes. You must be aware of this scam. The counterfeit shoes look exactly the same as genuine Converse for men. The quality, however, is far from superior. Imitation Converse shoes easily fall apart and get easily damaged.
