When Converse was founded in 1908, no one imagined they would write history as "America`s Original Sports Brand". With the Chuck Taylor All Star (1923) and the Jack Purcell (1935), Converse created two sports fashion icons that are known and loved beyond the court.

But there is more to Converse than these stars: Baseball, American Football, Basketball, Tennis, Skateboarding and Athletics - all fields in which Converse has played a very active part.
