Marquis M. Converse is a US company that has been producing footwear since the early twentieth century. It was founded by Marquis M. Converse in 1908 in Malden, Massachusetts under the name of Converse Ruberr Shoe Company.
The company's most famous product is the All Star Converse model, designed in 1923 by Chuck Taylor, a basketball player professional, to improve his game.
The sneaker featured a thick rubber sole and a black canvas structure that embraced the entire ankle.
Fame comes when the well-known player Chuck Taylor, who fell in love with the comfort of these sneakers, promotes their qualities throughout the country. Chuck appreciated these shoes so much that he personally went to the company to buy them and improve the model according to his needs.
