Converse - The Original. Chuck Taylor reminds you to be wary of imposters and pretenders. Insist on the Original - The ConverseŽ Chuck TaylorŽ All StarŽ. Great American Shoes for over 80 years. Charles "Chuck" Taylor has one of the most famous names in basketball history. Taylor's name adorns the Converse basketball shoe, the most successful selling basketball shoe in history. Since its inception in 1931, more than 600 million pair have been sold. Taylor, who walked into Converse Chicago sales office in the summer of 1921 complaining of sore feet, persuaded Converse executives to create a shoe especially for basketball. In 1932, Converse added Taylor's signature to its trademark five-pronged star shoe in 1932, and sent its new "Basketball Ambassador" on the road to promote the sneaker. Initially, "Chucks" were only available in high or low canvas in either black or white, and sold only in sporting goods stores. The Chuck Taylor "All-Star" became the official basketball shoe of Olympic competition from 1936 until 1968.
