Converse
It all began in 1908, when Marquis Mills Converse decided to start a rubber sneaker company. Converse was born and has since gone on to dominate the fashion footwear market, perfectly straddling sports utility and iconic styling. With a history of providing footwear to stars of basketball, badminton and rock 'n' roll; Converse has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Now a world famous brand with a world-wide following, the Converse label has managed to remain a symbol of independence, sub-culture, and effortless cool.
