Converse♥

We are researching converse, there are lots of different styles of converses, they are very nice and lots of people have them. The shoes weren't very popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor decided they were his favourite shoes. He was impressed with the shoes design so he became there leading salesman. After making a few changes to the shoes, the shoes got it's name and Chuck Taylor's signature on the all star sign.
converses were worn by the entire athletics team in the movie Grease. When Converse was bought by Nike in 2003 and operations were moved from the United States to overseas, the design saw a few alterations. The fabric for a short time was no longer 2-ply cotton canvas but 1-ply textile and many wearers noticed different patterns of wear.Because of these complaints the shoe was once again produced with the twin layer canvas design starting sometime in the past 5 years. This change caused about a £2.7 increase in the shoe across the brand from about £21.6 to £24.4 respectively. On the converse website you can create your own converses this shows that converse has become very popular. Loads of celebs wear converses like Zac Efron, Daniel Craig, Jedward, Paris Hilton, Chris Brown and many more!
