Since 1917, the year Converse introduced the now-famous Chuck Taylor, the canvas sneaker with a rubber sole quickly moved from basketball courts to streets worldwide. More than just a sports shoe, the Converse became a cultural phenomenon, winning the hearts of every kid with its simple lines: a durable canvas upper reinforced with a rubber toe cap; a minimalist yet incredibly effective design. The One Star, on the other hand, are low Converse sneakers, the ultimate vintage sneakers; these Converse were favorites of Kurt Cobain and the grunge culture and marked entire years of pop, metal, and rap music.
