Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Converse’s storied legacy dates back to 1908. Amidst the era's innovation frenzy, the brand emerged with one goal: to craft products from rubber, and from that, the ‘Converse Rubber Shoe Company’ was born. When you think of Converse trainers, none other than the century-old basketball shoe springs to mind, where the timeless basketball shoe rapidly became an emblem of success in both sports and street culture. Explore fresh new versions of iconic Converse shoes for men here at UrlfreezeShops where you’ll discover a colour or pattern for all.
But first, let's rewind. Converse turned its attention to basketball in 1917, a sport that was taking the decade by storm. The Converse All-Stars, with its canvas upper and rubber sole, quickly became the elite basketball shoe of its time. In 1932, Converse added the name of their basketball coach “Chuck Taylor” to the famous ankle patch detail, a hallmark that retains the brand’s coveted identity to this day.
Adopted by numerous subcultures over the years, Converse’s Chuck Taylor 70 sneakers began to thrive in the 80’s and 90s when punk rockers and rebel skaters took the lace-up in their stride. Various colourways and different styles that catered for all shaped the brand’s success, all while retaining its instantly recognisable look and basketball-infused DNA we know and love today.
Men’s converse trainers remain fresh thanks to the likes of artistic collaborations with Comme des Garçons PLAY keeping the silhouette right on trend. Here at END we have continued heart eyes for the signature bug-eyed Chuck 70 classics, available in both low and high-top variations.
