Chuck Taylor All Stars, also called Converse All Stars, are sneakers manufactured by the American fashion brand Converse. First developed as a basketball shoe in the early twentieth century, the design has remained largely unchanged since its introduction, consisting of a stitched canvas upper, a toe cap and a rubber outsole. Although later versions have used materials such as leather or suede, the original and most widely recognized version is made of cotton canvas, with a loose lining intended to add flexibility and prevent blisters.
