Withstanding the test of time and remaining a symbol of authenticity for the renegades and preppy hipsters, Converse's Chuck Taylor All Star Shoes are much more than a pair of sneakers. Originally made for basketball performance in 1917, the shoes quickly made their way out in the streets as statement pieces, becoming a staple for fashion icons, artists, as well as skateboarders in later generations. A versatile shoe good for any look, Chuck Taylor returns dressed up in its classic black and white colorway in a canvas construction that remains eye-catching and clean-cut.
