Chuck Taylor All-Stars (often called Chuck Taylors or simply Chucks) are an easily recognizable brand of sneakers made by Converse. Originally designed as basketball shoes, they have achieved longterm success as casual wear associated with musical or artistic subcultures or authentic and rebellious figures.
