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 looked all over Houston for the brown and orange barkley edtion and could not find them. My boyfriend went to the Nike outlet in Memphis and they were sold out. I went to several sites before I ran across sneakerhead. I was so excited to find these shoes in time for my boyfriends Birthday. Very pleased with this site so far. Shipping was only $7.99 and the shoes $109.00 together it still came out cheaper than the mall. Thank you sneakerhead.com
