Justifying the Huge Popularity of High Top Converse

Even if you are not familiar with the name, you have probably won a pair of the high top converse Chuck Taylor all Stars shoes. These are the canvas sneakers that

feature white rubber soles, some toe guards to keep your toes comfortable and well protected, and the synonymous "all star" white and blue logo that is often found on

the side of each pair of shoe.

The high top Converse sneakers are available in tow basic shapes… the Reebok Freestyle and the original Converse all star. They are often associated with the

basketball game, with both of these high tops becoming lasting fashion statements. They are available in both women and men's designs; they are very comfortable,

durable, and warm. So original are the high top style of sneakers that they have become the inspiration of a wide gamut of designs that have resurfaced in the fashion

industry over the years. They have stood the test of time to remain the most in-demand high top converse shoes ever manufactured.

This huge demand could be attributed to the fact that they fit into every fashion trend and lifestyle that the fashion world has to offer. The high top converse All

Stars, otherwise referred to as simply the Chucks, date back to 1908 when the first rubber manufacturing company that was known as Converse produced the first batch of

mass marketed soft soled rubber converse shoes. The initial design created by Chuck Taylor featured the colour black, and had very attractive and complementing white

laces.

The reason why the converse shoes gained instant popularity among consumers is because all previous designs had hard and very noisy soles that made them uncomfortable

to wear. The new pair of shoe was however very comfortable and quiet, no wonder they were dubbed "sneakers". This original design of sneakers has remained popular to

date both for its quirky style and unrivalled comfort.

Throughout the years, the legendary High top converse shoes have been manufactured in a myriad of patterns and colours, and have varied in height from the traditional

low top to the favourite high top and all else in between. While the heel heights and heel tags have changed over time in line with the latest fashion trends, the

basic look has always remained the same, plus its charm, no wonder it is a classic in its own right.

Perhaps what makes the legendary shoes a favourite for many is the history behind them, if not for anything else because they have donned the feet of both the young

and the old, the feet of start-up basketball teams who dream of becoming international champions. They have also graced the heels of thousands of movie stars and

renowned basketball players all who seek to show that they are as humble as the guy next door. They are an icon and fashion statement that everybody and anybody can

reckon with regardless of one's lifestyle, age or societal status.

Converse shoes have managed to maintain their coolness throughout the years thanks to their durability, simplicity, originality, and the fact that they remain cool

throughout all seasons regardless of the latest fashion trends in the market.
