Converse is an American sneaker brand founded in 1908. It is most famous for the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star basketball shoes, which were first introduced in 1917. Since then, Converse has expanded its product line to include casual shoes, apparel and accessories. The brand is strongly associated with musical subcultures, particularly punk, rock and alternative music. Owned by Nike since 2003, Converse continues to be a popular choice for those looking for a proven, stylish and comfortable sneaker. As with Nike, Converse regularly releases limited sneaker collaborations with artists and other brands. They include Off-White, Fear of God Essentials, Comme des Garçons or the band Guns N' Roses.
