Converse (/knvrs/) is an American shoe company that designs, distributes, and licences footwear, apparel, and accessories, including sneakers, skate shoes, and lifestyle brand footwear, apparel, and accessories. Converse is headquartered in New York City. Since 2003, it has operated as a subsidiary of Nike, Inc., which was founded in 1908.
While the United States was engaged in World War II, Converse shifted its manufacturing to produce footwear for the military. It was one of the few manufacturers of athletic shoes in the world, and the company dominated the American athletic shoe market for more than half a century. As competitors introduced their own styles beginning in the 1970s, the company’s dominant position began to erode.
In today’s market, the Converse, Cons, Chuck Taylor All-Star (“Chucks”), Jack Purcell, One Star, and Star Chevron trademarks are among the products available under the company’s portfolio. Converse collaborates with other brands, such as John Varvatos, on limited-edition product releases on a regular basis. There are several characteristics that distinguish Converse shoes, including the company’s star insignia, the All Star’s rubber sole, smooth rounded toe, and a wrap-around strip around the heel.
109 Converse-owned retail stores in the United States and 63 Converse-owned retail stores in international markets sold Converse products as of 2019.

Converse, on the whole, are a little roomier than your typical shoe. Converse states on their website that their shoes run half a size large, but many people recommend ordering a size down if you normally wear a size up. Converse sizing can be determined by taking a precise measurement of the circumference of your foot.
In comparison to other Chucks of the same size, the Chuck 70 offers a more durable canvas and a more supportive arch. Weightlifters prefer the All Star because it’s less expensive, comes in a wider variety of colours, is smaller, and is easier to carry.

Cold Fusion Chuck 70 Explore WP
High-Top Shoe for Men and Women. The premium Chuck 70 features waterproof nubuck leather and a waterproof lining for the ultimate in wet weather protection.
Compared to the retro version, the Classic Chuck’s uppers are softer and more flexible. The heel counter on the Classics is noticeably stiffer than on the 70s, despite the shoe being noticeably lighter overall. Over time, this should help the shoes retain their shape.
It’s imperative that you know this before placing your order for a pair of Chuck 70s. We recommend going a full size smaller to ensure a proper fit. As a result of trying on a size 8, I ultimately decided on a size 7 because a 7.5 would have been too large for me.
Double-ply canvas is used in the Chuck 70’s construction, which makes it more durable. There is a lot more structure in the shoe’s neck because of this. Its creamy, off-white outsole matches the Chuck 70’s white toe box rather than the All Star’s white toe box.
