Converse Shoes

Converse is the prominent sneaker brand preferred by rock stars, artists and skaters alike, continuing to retain its relevance decade after decade. Famed for its Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Tops, one of the highest-selling basketball shoes of all time, the brand is also renowned for the Converse One Star sneakers and of course, the coveted platform outsole style. Converse has easily become a mainstay in Australian sneaker culture, and the well-known platform sneaker brand is here to stay.

About Converse the Brand

The Converse shoe has been spotted on every stage star from the Ramones to Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and was massively important in crafting the identity of 90s pop-punk. From white to black, high top to low top, Converse shoes have become an emblem of rebellion in a period where the alternative was technology-focused, high-octane sportswear. Converse’s laid-back style is the brand’s greatest strength and continues to contribute to its timeless appeal across ages and personalities.

Converse’s shoes embrace a place in a culture that allows the brand to branch into experimental colour use and prints, even including LGBTQI+-themed styles. Converse has shown a commitment to inclusion and social change that many other brands have not mirrored yet.
