Converse All Stars for the Stars
First sold in 1917 and once a feature of the grunge look, Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars (also known simply as Chucks) have moved steadily from subculture to main stream. Comfortable as a day shoe, though incredibly casual they've been dressed up and down and have been seen on everyone from Sienna Miller to Doctor Who.
