For decades the Chuck Taylor All Star basketball shoe only came in black, with a white variant released in 1947. Under pressure from basketball teams Converse decided in 1966 to manufacture other colors. Different materials and finishes also began to be used, starting in the 1970s, including leather and suede versions, rather than just the original canvas. Besides the traditional high-tops, low-cuts and customised versions were produced. The Chuck Taylor All Star basketball shoe is an all time Design Classic, as relevant today as it was ninety years ago.
