Converse Run Star Hike History
Since 1917, the Converse All Star silhouette has been building its history and making a name for itself. From being called as the Non-Skid when it first came out, to having its first name change and became the All Star in 1920 until it finally became the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star that we all know today.
It was in 1921 that Converse closed a deal with Chuck Taylor, a basketball player who saw the huge potential of the silhouette and he worked his way to bring it to its peak. With the success that Taylor brought over the All Star, Converse added his name on its iconic logo heel patch, making the shoe officially called as the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star.
Over the years, the Chucks has encountered a long list of modifications to its design profile, materials, and colorways, giving people a wide variety of Chuck All Star sneakers options to choose from that would fit everyones sense of style. The shoe isnt a stranger on collaborative releases as well as it has been a subject of collaboration with designers and other labels.
In 2019, Converse introduced the Converse Run Star Hike silhouette which was a collaborative effort between the brand and JW Anderson. The high-top platform silhouette then continued to become a part of the brands seasonal line-up. This silhouette retains the majority of the design of JW Anderson Run Star Hike such as its high-top profile and its chunky elevated sole.
