Please, ignore all other definitions by other people. They are all inaccurate. Converse Chuck Taylor's, also known as All Stars, are the first known All-American basketball shoe ever made. They were not made in the 1950's, they were introduced in 1917 by the once independent Converse. Since their original production, Converse has been bought for a $350 million deal by Nike in 2003, who has changed the material and production manner of these shoes (they're not made how they used to be). Also, the reason they became so popular was because at the time, they were really the only available sneaker on the market.
The Real Chuck Taylors
by Donttrip May 21, 2008
A pair of Converse shoes that have a flat rubber sole. They come in either high top or low top, and the low tops are a little bit cheaper than the high tops. They also wear down quickly. Just cause they're worn by somebody, it doesn't make them a poseur, goth, or whatever. They're just a pair of shoes.

old school sneakers that are super comfortable and go with anything. Please avoid stereotyping. these shoes are for those that like em and want to wear them. Don't wear them because you want to label yourself and you think Chucks will reinforce it.

One of the greatest forms of footwear ever created. Simple, elegant, sturdy and affordable, the Coverse Chuck Taylor has housed many a foot since their introduction to the world in the 1950s.
A lot of people say that the Chuck Taylor is a sure sign of a poser/goth/sk8er or something without realizing its just a bloody shoe.

Bob: Did you see Kate at school yesterday?
Mike: Hell yeah, man. How could I NOT see her? She looked so HOT in those dirty low-top Chuck Taylors she was wearing with her Yoga Pants.
