The Converse All Star debuted in 1917 as the first basketball shoe. The Chuck Taylor signature first appeared on the patch of the Converse All Star in 1923. This led Chuck Taylor, the "Ambassador of Basketball," to begin his 35-year "evangelist tour" across America to introduce basketball and teach the fundamentals of the game. The unmistakable mark of the most storied shoe in American history, the Chuck Taylor All Star, with it's red, white, and blue patch was originally created to protect players' ankles on the fast break. Converse added Chuck Taylor's signature to the ankle patch in 1923 to recognize his contributions to the company and to the game.

A young Marquis M. Converse started the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in 1908 in Massachusetts. Converse specialized in winterized footwear for men, women, and children. Converse canvas shoes for the sports of tennis and basketball soon followed.
