Converse sneakers are a type of canvas and rubber shoe that have been popular for over a century. They were created by Marquis Mills Converse, who founded the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in 1908. While initially popular among athletes, Converse sneakers gained widespread popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly among basketball players and youth subcultures. The rise of rock and roll music and the rebellious spirit of the era contributed to the popularity of Converse sneakers, which became a symbol of counterculture and individuality. Today, Converse sneakers remain a popular fashion staple, with a variety of styles and colors available to suit any taste.
