     Converse shoes have been around since 1908. The inventors were Marquis Mills Converse and Elisha Converse. The birthplace of Converse shoes was Boston, Massachusetts.

   Converse was originally a basketball shoe. The All Star high tops were the most popular. The symbol on the shoe has Charles H. Taylor’s signature on it. Chuck, a nickname for Charles, Taylor was an American basketball player.
