Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers are an American original. Converse created the first basketball shoe - the grandfather of all athletic shoes to follow. In 1923, Chuck taylor, an all-star professional basketball player from Akron, worked with Converse to imporve their shoes and the game of basketball. For the rest of his life, Chuck Taylor served as the Ambassador of Basketball for Converse, traveling across America to inspire youth, coach basketball clinics, and spread his love for the game and Converse shoes. Converse may have disappeared completely if not for the saving grace of Nike who bought the failing company in 2003 and put their innovative designers to work. These classics are the same great sneakers with the most basic technology, but are available wild new colors, styles, and materials.

""I have 3 sons and all of them like brand name shoes. I have a teenager and we sometimes have a hard time finding his size because it so popular. Well, oneday after going all over the city to find him some shoes. I was sitting down and thinking I wish I could find a website that sold authentic shoes. Well, my goodness I ran across sneakerhead.com. My boys were a little skeptical at first so I said let's just order some shoes and see. Well, we ordered him 2 pair of Air Force Ones. I paid extra for the shipping so we could get them quickly. Well, we got the shoes they were real and now my boys are hooked on this website and they are telling all their friends. It is a life saver because now we can just shop for shoes out of the comfort of our home. Sneakerhead keep up the good job. Also customer service was great. They called me to confirm my order and let me know when my order was being shipped outl. Would recommend this site to anyone. Keep up the good Work. Mom of 3 in Memphis,TN ... ""
