Converse, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is a subsidiary of NIKE, Inc. Founded in 1908 as a rubber company, Converse made history when it introduced the first canvas basketball shoe — a design that shaped youth culture around the world.

Today, Converse is a global fashion and footwear brand built on creativity and innovation. Its evolution is driven by the All Stars community — a worldwide network of influential creators who champion progress in sport, art and culture.

Iconic silhouettes such as the Chuck Taylor All Star, Pro Leather, One Star and Jack Purcell continue to inspire athletes, skaters and creative communities alike. Their stories, expression and culture fuel Converse’s ongoing mission to craft new generations of expressive, forward-thinking footwear.
