CONVERSE SINGAPORE
If you love your Chuck Taylors as much as we do, then you’ll love
the range offered here at LAZADA. Founded in 1908 in Massachusetts
as the Converse Rubber Shoe Company, the brand started out as a
rubber shoe manufacturer. It provided winterised rubber-soled
footwear for men, women and children, and filled a gap in the
market. By 1910, it was producing approximately 4,000 shoes a day,
but it was only in 1915 that the company started to produce
athletic shoes for tennis. Since then, the American lifestyle
footwear label not only produces comfy kicks, they have also
expanded their line to include fashion and athletic apparel. The
company became a subsidiary of Nike, Inc. in 2003.
CONVERSE SHOES
How Converse got its nickname of Chuck Taylor is because of the
basketball player named Charles "Chuck" Taylor, who entered a
Converse store looking for a pair of shoes for his sore feet. In
1917, the company had developed the Converse All-Star basketball
shoe, and after hiring Taylor in 1921, who worked as salesman and
ambassador for the brand, his name became synonymous with the
design. As a result of Taylor’s efforts in promoting the shoes all
around the United States, his signature was added to the All
Star patch on the brand’s classic, high-topped sneakers in
1932.
