Chuck Taylor All-Stars, also referred to as "Chucks,"1 are canvas and rubber shoes produced by Converse. They were first produced in 1917 as the "All-Star," Converse's attempt to capture the basketball shoe market. They were not particularly popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was so impressed with the design that he became the shoe's leading salesman. After proposing a few changes to the shoe, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor's signature on its ankle patch.allso known as the og shoe and the emo boot
Consumers demanded more variety from the shoe - particularly with respect to colors in order to match basketball teams - so colored and patterned shoelaces became popular to complement the two colors, black and white, available before 1966. Afterwards, more colors and styles became available. Low-top or "Oxford", high-top, and later knee-high, versions were produced. More materials were offered for the construction, including leather, suede, vinyl, denim, and hemp. Some versions of the shoe were offered without laces, held up instead by elasticWhen Converse was bought by Nike and operations were moved from the United States to overseas, the design saw a few alterations. The fabric is no longer 2-ply cotton canvas but 1-ply "textile" and many wearers have noticed different patterns of wear.

Convergmas is unwillingly celebrated by thousands of Convergys employees each year on December 25th. Instead of opening presents and enjoying time with their family, many Convergys employees celebrate their bastardized version of Christmas answering phones, crying in the bathroom, and getting wallaced.

Shut the fuck up. Converse are amazing, always have been and always will be, no matter who wears them. If you pricks actually stop wearing a brand of shoes because "preps" have started wearing them, you're a pathetic piece of shit and should be shot immediately.
Converse are canvas shoes that were popular in the 1980's. In the past few years they have become more popular again. You can buy them in low or high top, and in any color or design. You can personalize them by putting in your own shoelaces and writing on them in permanent marker.

Get the Converseption mug.Imposter converser syndrome is that feeling you get when someone you know, usually more attractive and typically “out of your league”, messages you and starts a conversation up, and you believe they think you are someone else.
Usually it’s a sign of low confidence and previous traumas, and very unusually is it ever the case of a mistaken message.
