Converse Release Dates
Converse is an American footwear company that was founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse.

Converse’s classic and timeless designs are the main reason Nike acquired the struggling company in July 2003 for $315 million.
Most known for its Chuck Taylor All-Star sneaker, which features a canvas upper, rubber sole and toe cap and the iconic patch with Chuck Taylor's signature, it is considered a cultural icon that has stood the test of time.. It is one of the most recognizable sneakers in the world and has been re-released in countless colorways and collaborations over the years.
Converse has also collaborated with a number of notable figures and brands, such as Tyler, The Creator, Off-White, Rick Owens, CDG, and more. These collaborations have resulted in exclusive limited edition releases, and have helped to keep the brand relevant in the fashion and sneaker world. Converse has also started to introduce all-new silhouettes like it’s basketball shoes in the All-Star BB and the popular lifestyle shoe the Run Hike.
