Chuck Taylor All-Stars are canvas and rubber shoes produced by Converse Shoes. They were first produced in 1917 as the "All Star", Converse's attempt to capture the basketball shoe market. They were not particularly popular until basketball player Charles "Chuck" H. Taylor adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was so impressed with the design that he became the shoe's leading salesman. After proposing a few changes to the shoe, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor's signature on its ankle patch. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...
