Converse All Stars

Converse have been making shoes for a very long time, since 1908 to be precise. Since then, they have blown up into one of the most iconic pieces of footwear of the 20th and 21st Centuries. This huge range of Converse All Stars for men on Stylight incorporates all of the classics you would expect as well as some equally stylish and surprising new additions.

Walk In the Shoes of Legends in Converse All-Stars

Did you know that Converse All-Stars have been around for longer than the automobile? It’s true — the ubiquitous sneaker was invented in 1908, whereas the Ford Model T rolled out in 1927. The original design hasn’t changed much in that time. Needless to say, Chucks have had an impressive history, worn by countless people and transformed into a fashion legend.

From basketball legends to vintage rock gods, Converse All-Stars have clad the feet of great men through the decades. Emulate their style with a pair of canvas sneaks as classic as they are comfortable.

On the Court

In the 20s and 30s, All-Stars were the gold standard of athletic footwear, being worn by over 90 percent of professional basketball players, inspired by salesman and player Charles “Chuck” Taylor. Not limited to basketball, Chucks were also popular on baseball diamonds and running tracks alike for their breathable canvas construction, buoyant rubber soles and reinforced toe caps. Bring them into your sporty look by pairing a brightly colored pair of high-tops with tapered sweatpants and a varsity bomber jacket.

Basic Training

All-Stars aren’t just athletic staples — they’ve also served their country. The canvas sneakers proved ideal for soldiers to wear while training for combat. You may not be heading onto the front lines, but you can bring out the military appeal of your Chucks by pairing them with an army green military-style jacket and sleek aviators.

Rock and Roll

Beyond their practical uses in the athletic and military field, Chuck Taylors also carry a counter-culture association due to their popularity among rock stars and rebels. From the Rolling Stones to Joey Ramone, punks the world over took a childhood favorite shoe and gave it an edge by pairing them with dark shades, leather jackets and simple white tees. Modernize your rock and roll Converse look by choosing pieces in all black, from your distressed skinny jeans to your leather moto.

Few sneakers boast the same lengthy legacy as Chuck Taylor All-Stars. Pick up a pair and make your own moment in fashion history.
