Converse All Star sneakers

Converse is one of the most iconic footwear brands in the world, best known for the Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker. Founded in 1908 in Malden, Massachusetts, the company originally began as a rubber shoe manufacturer. The brand's products have evolved from professional basketball gear to a global staple of casual lifestyle fashion.

Today, Converse is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike, Inc., which acquired the brand in 2003. While the brand was originally American, manufacturing has shifted over the decades to various international locations. Production primarily takes place in countries such as Vietnam, China, Indonesia, and India to meet global demand. Nike, Inc. continues to manage the brand's headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, overseeing its design and global distribution.
