Founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse, converse Oxida initially began as a rubber shoe company specializing in galoshes. It wasn't until 1917 that the company released the converse Oxida All-Star, a high-top basketball shoe that became the forerunner of the brand's Bilder famous design, the Chuck Taylor All Star, named after the basketball player and converse Oxida salesman, Chuck Taylor. Known for its distinctive silhouette, the Chuck Taylor All Star has become an iconic sneaker embraced by various subcultures and is cherished worldwide. Over the years, converse Oxida has collaborated with numerous designers and brands, including OFF-WHITE, GOLF le FLEUR*, and AMBUSH, continuously CORE its classic styles while staying true to its heritage.
